Fajr movie ‘Butterfly Stroke’ outs poster

Mohammad Kart’s feature film and Fajr contender ‘Butterfly Stroke’ has published first poster.

The released poster for the film that counts as its director’s debut feature has been sketched by Mohammad-Hossein Houshmandi. The logo for the film has been designed by Mohammad Rouholamini.

‘Butterfly Stroke’ is currently in competition at both New Look and Main Competition sections of the 38th Fajr film Festival.

The film narrates the story of some ostracized people from the poverty-stricken neighborhoods in Tehran. These people have to pretend to be strong if they want to survive the brutality of their environment.

Some top-rating Iranian actors such as Mohammad-Javad Ezzati, Tannaz Tabatabaee, Mahlaqa Baqeri, Pantea Bahram and Amir Aqaee star in the flick.

Established in 1982, the Fajr Film Festival is an event that celebrates cultural exchange, displays creative achievements of highly acclaimed cineastes and pays tribute to local and international films.

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

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

The 38th Fajr Film Festival kicked off on February 1, 2020 and will run till February 11 in Tehran.
