Iranian feature ‘The Slaughterhouse’ is slated to be screened at the Iranian Film Festival-San Francisco in the US.

Abbas Amini’s movie, which is a narrative of some contemporary social issues, will represent Iran at this year’s edition of the event.

“It’s been a few months that Amir has been deported from France. For the sake of his father, Amir is engaged in a shocking crime,” a synopsis for the movie reads.

Produced by Javad Norouzbeigi, the script for the 125-minute film has been co-written by Amini and Hossein Farrokhzadeh.

Hassan Pour-Shirazi, Baran Kosari, Mani Haqiqi, and Amir-Hossein Fathi are notable on the cast list of the movie.

The IFF-San Francisco, is the first independent Iranian film festival outside of Iran.
