‘No.3 Azar Shahr. Street’ in the running at Silk Road Int’l Film Festival

Iranian film ‘No.3 Azar Shahr. Street’ by Kambiz Safari is in the running at the 7th Silk Road International Film Festival (SRIFF), which is currently underway in the Chinese city of Xi’an.

Starring Atila Pesyani and Behnaz Jafari, the 78-min social drama made in 2019 is inspired by a true story which addresses the potential problems facing immigrants returning home after years.

‘No.3 Azar Shahr. Street’ follows the story of Roja, a migrant woman, who has lost her husband in Germany. She returns to her husband’s home country (Iran) to manage his inheritance, where she realizes he had a child from another marriage which complicates the situation.

With the theme “Silk Road Links the World, Film Connects Cultures”, the festival this year aims at using the art of light and shadow to build a cultural bridge connecting countries along the Silk Road, promoting cultural exchanges and cooperation between these countries and regions.

The event started on September 25 and will run until October 16, 2020.
