Fajr film ‘23 People’ released new photos

New photos from Iranian feature film '23 People', directed by Mehdi Jafari, which is set to participate at the 37th edition of Fajr Film Festival, have been released.

Jafari wrapped up the shooting of '23 People' late in December. The film was shot in the cities of Tehran and Abadan.

The movie will attend this year’s edition of Fajr Film Festival and is set to be screened on February 5.

‘23 People’ is a war drama which depicts the true story of a group of Iranian teenage prisoners of war who fell captive to enemy soldiers in the early 1980s during the Iraq-imposed war on Iran.

New photos from the movie were released on Saturday. 

The 37th Fajr Film Festival is set to kick off on February 1, and will run until February 11 in the capital city of Tehran.

The festival coincides with the ten-day Fajr ceremonies across Iran, marking the 40th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Since its establishment in 1982, the Fajr Film Festival has played a vital role in the development of Iranian Cinema.

Supervised by Iran’s Ministry of Culture, the festival hosts veteran directors and new filmmakers from Iran every year.
