Dhaka Filmfest to host ‘A Man without a Shadow’

Iranian feature film ‘A Man without Shadow’ has been set to attend the Dhaka International Film Festival in Bangladesh.

The Cinema of the World section of the 18th edition of the Bangladeshi film event will be hosting Alireza Raeesian’s feature length movie.

The film narrates the story of a filmmaker whose latest movie’s theme ironically enough becomes what he will experience in his real life.

A brief synopsis for ‘A Man without Shadow’ reads, “Mahan, a documentarian, makes a film about a husband who was suspicious of his wife. After the film was out, he got sued and consequently lost his job. Sayeh, his wife, must find a job to make their ends meet. Now that her job as an interpreter entails business trips to Spain, Mahan finds himself in the shoes of a suspicious spouse”

Leila Hatami and Ali Mosaffa, a married couple in real life, portray the two starring roles of the flick. Besides the duo, Farhad Aslani, Amir Aqaee, Gohar Kheirandish, Nader Fallah and Nasim Adabi are also among the cast members of the movie.

The film has already attended a number of international film fests including, the 10th edition of the London Iranian Film Festival in the UK.

Established in 1992, the Dhaka International Film Festival is a biennial film festival in Bangladesh.  

This edition of the event is slated for January 11-19, 2020.
