Niki Karimi’s movie opts out of Jerusalem festival

‘Until Tomorrow’ produced by Iranian actress and filmmaker Niki Karimi has opted out of Jerusalem film festival.

Directed by Ali Asgari, the film was registered at the event by the French distributor but the crew removed it from the Zionist festival as soon as finding out.

Iran doesn’t recognize the occupier Israeli Regime as a country due to its murders against Palestinians.

The Iranian-French-Qatari movie ‘Until Tomorrow’ is about a student who has a secret and is trying to hide it from her family.

Fereshteh has to hide a secret "from her parents who turn up for a surprise visit. Her friend Atefeh helps her. They embark on an odyssey through Tehran during which they must carefully weigh up who their allies are,” a synopsis for the film reads.

The movie has previously participated in several international film festivals including the 72nd Berlin International Film Festival in Germany and the 41st International Istanbul Film Festival in Turkey.
