A physicist and filmmaker with a love of astronomy, Taghi’s first documentary, “Shades of Black” took us on an imaginary journey into a black hole. In “Earth Calling Basingstoke,” he featured the extraterrestrial lives of English amateur astronomers. Taghi has since made more than 40 films, including two fictional shorts. He is the founder of Amirani Media, which produced “The Jupiter Collision,” a BBC documentary of the historic impact of Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 into planet Jupiter. For his body of work, Taghi has been awarded a TED Fellowship, followed by a TED Senior Fellowship in 2010.
