Iran’s ‘The Last snow’ vying at Dhaka filmfest in Bangladesh

Iranian feature film ‘The Last snow’ has been on screen at the 2023 Dhaka International Film Festival (DIFF) in Bangladesh.

Directed by Amir-Hossein Asgari, the flick will be among the 24 works to compete at the Asian Film Competition program of the 21st edition of the Bangladeshi fest.

‘The Last Snow’ is the story of a veterinarian’s day to day life. He goes wolf hunting through the cold nights of the place he lives in.

Notable among the cast members of the flick are Amin Hayaee, Ladan Mostofi and Majid Salehi.

Some 200 films from 60 countries are competing at the DIFF in the following categories: Asian Competition Section, Retrospective, Bangladesh Panorama, Cinema of the World, Children’s Film, Short and Independent Film, Women Filmmakers Section, and Spiritual Films Section.

The festival’s website states the DIFF is a bold expression of resistance against the decadence, vulgarity and cheap commercialism that pervades the mainstream Bangladesh film industry.

The 21st edition of the Dhaka fest kicked off on January 14 and it is set to wrap up on January 22, 2023.
