London fest nods ‘Zero to Podium’

Iranian documentary ‘Zero to Podium’ nominated at the Raindance Film Festival in London.

Directed by Sahar Mossayebi, the doc wins nomination for Discovery Award at the 27th edition of the British event.

It narrates the story of the sisters, beginning from their homeland in Isfahan Province, ending at the international Wushu competition in Indonesia.

The Mansourian sisters have brought several international titles to Iran from different global and Asian martial arts competitions.

None of the scenes captured in the film is made up. Mansourian sisters- Elaheh, Shahrbanou and Soheila- actually showed their life as it has been.

The 2019 edition of the festival is slated for September 18 - 29.
