‘World War III’ participating in Romanian Transylvania Int'l fest

Iranian feature ‘World War III’ has made its way to the Transylvania International Film Festival (TIFF) in Romania.

‘World War III’ is taking part in the No Limit category of the 22nd edition of the TIFF.

Directed by Houman Seyyedi, the film tells the story of Shakib who has lost his wife and child in an earthquake.

He works in a place where a movie on the World War is being filmed, and when one of the actors collapses, Shakib has been chosen as his stand-in.

Shakib is allowed to stay in the actor’s fake mansion, on condition that he doesn’t receive any visitors, but he makes a decision that endangers his fate.

The film is co-written by Seyyedi, Arian Vazir-Daftari, and Azad Jafarian.

‘World War III’ received its international premiere at the Venice International Film Festival in Italy. It took part in the festival’s Orizzonti section and managed to grab two awards.

‘World War III’ also brought Mohsen Tanabandeh the Best Actor award at the Fantaspoa – International Fantastic Film Festival of Porto Alegre in Brazil for his role in the movie.

The 22nd edition of the Transylvania International Film Festival in Romania will take place from June 9 to 18.
