Question: Are the directors of both films The Haunted Castle (1960 Film) and Ferdowsi (Film) from the same country?

<P0-S0> The Haunted Castle is a hypothetical lost 1897 British film, attributed in some filmographies to the British film pioneer George Albert Smith, but which may be a misidentification of a French film by Georges Méliès. <P0-S1> Many of Smith's films show an interest in supernatural themes, such as" Photographing a Ghost"( 1898)," The Haunted Picture Gallery"( 1899), and his major short comedy" Mary Jane's Mishap"( 1903); he also filmed a version of the Faust legend. <P0-S2> A film called" The Haunted Castle", supposedly released by Smith in December 1897, was attributed to him in the 1973 edition of" The British Film Catalogue". <P0-S3> However, the film historian John Barnes, in his book- length study of the year 1897 in British film, concluded that the title referred to a Méliès film that had been referenced in England since May of that year. <P0-S4> Méliès's 1897 film" Le Château hanté" was indeed released in Britain as" The Haunted Castle". <P0-S5> ( A slightly earlier film of his," Le Manoir du diable", made in the winter of 1896 – 7, is also known as" The Haunted Castle" after its American release title.) <SEP> <P1-S0> Kurt Hoffmann( 12 November 1910 – 25 June 2001) was a German film director, the son of Carl Hoffmann. <P1-S1> He directed 48 films between 1938 and 1971. <P1-S2> His 1958 film" Wir Wunderkinder" was entered into the 1st Moscow International Film Festival and his 1960 film" The Haunted Castle" was entered into the 2nd Moscow International Film Festival where it won the Silver Prize. <P1-S3> His 1961 film" The Marriage of Mr. Mississippi" was entered into the 11th Berlin International Film Festival. <SEP> <P2-S0> I Want Your <P2-S1> Love is the title of both a 2010 short film and a 2012 feature- length film. <P2-S2> Both films were directed and written by Travis Mathews. <P2-S3> The drama films both revolve around the friends and ex-lovers of Jesse Metzger, a gay man in his mid-thirties who is forced to move back to his hometown from San Francisco due to financial reasons. <P2-S4> The actors' own names, along with much of their real- life stories, were used for their characters in both films, which features graphic sexual scenes. <P2-S5> The production of both films was aided by the gay pornographic studio NakedSword. <P2-S6> This led to the full- length film being refused exemption from classification, which would have allowed it to screen at the Melbourne Queer Film Festival, a decision to which actor James Franco( who invited Mathews to collaborate on Franco's film" Interior. Leather Bar.") reacted negatively. <SEP> <P3-S0> The Haunted Castle is a 1960 West German comedy film directed by Kurt Hoffmann. <P3-S1> It was entered into the 2nd Moscow International Film Festival where it won the Silver Prize. <P3-S2> The film is a sequel to" The Spessart Inn"( 1958) and was followed by" Glorious Times at the Spessart Inn"( 1967). <SEP> <P4-S0> Ferdowsi( Ferdausi)"( Persian title: Ferdosi)" is a 1934 Iranian biography drama film directed by Abdolhossein Sepanta and starring Nosratollah Mohtasham, Abdolhossein Sepanta and Sohrab Pouri. <P4-S1> The movie is about the famous Iranian poet Ferdowsi, author of the" Shahnameh" book of epic poems. <SEP> <P5-S0> Abdolhossein Sepanta( June 4, 1907 – March 28, 1969) was a noted Iranian film director and producer. <P5-S1> He made the earliest sound films in the Persian language. <P5-S2> He was also a writer and journalist and promoter of liberal politics.
