‘Mahoora’ attends Cannes Filmfest

Iran film ‘Mahoora’ has been scheduled to be screened at the 71st edition of Cannes Film Festival in France.

Directed by Hamid Zargarnejad, the movie was produced based on a four-year research project. That’s why the film crew selected a wetland at the Iranian southwest province of Khuzestan as the location of the flick.

The technical stage for ‘Mahoora’ took more than a year.

The movie went on the silver screen at the 36th edition of the Fajr Film Festival.   

The film depicts the story of a border village in Iran where people have a strange local custom.

‘Mahoora’ features popular Iranian actors such as Kamran Tafti, Bahareh Kian-Afshar, Dariush Arjmand, Saeed Aqakhani, Mitra Hajjar, Ali Osivand and Yousef Moradian.
