Listapad filmfest hosting ‘The Son’

Iranian film ‘The Son’ has been vying at the 2021 Minsk International Film Festival Listapad in Belarus.

Directed by Noushin Meraji, ‘The Son’ is being screened at the main competition section of the 27th edition of the event.

‘The Son’ is about Farid, a forty-year-old man who lives with his mother. He is very vulnerable and escapes loneliness, but in the meantime tries to prove himself independent and supportive of his mother. However, her sudden death makes Farid frustrated.

To escape from this unfamiliar situation, he clings to anyone he encounters outside home to make this loneliness bearable, but he does not know how to communicate and the situation goes from bad to worse.

The cast list of the movie includes Qanaddan, Nahid Haddadi, Donya Heidari, Mojtaba Fallahi, Maryam Naqib, and Atabak Naderi.

The Minsk International Film Festival Listapad is an annual film event which takes place in November in Minsk, Belarus.

The festival provides an educational platform for communication between cinema professionals.

Varied workshops, discussions and exhibitions are held to provide an opportunity to learn from masters of cinema and to discuss significant problems related to the development of cinematography.

This year’s edition of the festival is currently underway from November 20-26.
