Uruguay to host 3 Iranian films

The 37th edition of the Uruguay International Film Festival has set to screen Iranian flick ‘Dressage’ as well as two Iranian shorts.

In its latest international appearance, Pouya Badkoubeh's ‘Dressage’ will participate at the ‘New Directors’ section of the Uruguayan event.

The Iranian film will compete with movies from Brazil, Portugal, France, Mexico, Argentina, Romania, China, Russia and Serbia.

“A bunch of well-off teenagers rob a shop for fun. One of them, 16-year-old Golsa, hides the recording of the robbery. First the friends, and later their parents as well as the girl’s parents, demand her to give the video away, so it would not get into the hands of the police,” a synopsis for the film reads.

Popular stars Ali Mosaffa, Shabnam Moqaddami, Houshang Tavakkoli, Alireza Sanifar, Alireza Aqakhani, and Siamak Adib have appeared in the movie.

Iranian short films ‘Lunch Time’ directed by Alireza Qasemi and ‘Counter Clockwise’ by Pedram Yazdani will also be screened at the event.

The 37th edition of the Uruguay International Film Festival will take place on April 17-28, 2019.
