Karlovy Vary fest to screen Iran’s ‘Hit the Road’

The 55th edition of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (KVIFF) in the Czech Republic has been set to screen Iranian feature ‘Hit the Road’.

Written and directed by Panah Panahi, the movie follows a chaotic, tender family that is on a road trip across a rugged landscape and fussing over the sick dog and getting on each others' nerves. Only the mysterious older brother is quiet.

Hassan Majouni, Pantea Panahiha, Rayan Sarlak, and Amin Simiar are on the cast list of the 93-minute movie.

‘Hit the Road’ was a success during Directors' Fortnight at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.

The KVIFF is one of the oldest in the world and has become Central and Eastern Europe’s leading film event.

The 55th edition of the Czech festival will take place on August 20-28, 2021.
