Doha film institute to host Iran’s film

Iranian-Qatari feature film ‘Killer Whale’ is selected to screen at the Qumra event in Qatar.

Sahar Mosayyebi’s movie is among the 48 films selected to be screened at this year’s Qumra event, which is powered by the Doha Film Institute.

The film, that counts as Mosayyebi’s first feature film, has Taraneh Alidousti and Mahtab Keramati, Masoud Keramati and Mahtab Nassirpour star in it.

Mohammad Reshno, Hassan Zarei, Sepideh Alaei, Armik Qaribian, Fatemeh Neishabouri and Hamideh Hamidi are also among the cast members of the flick.

A brief tagline for the film reads, “You girl are a killer whale… because you fight so much so that you’ll gain what you wish for”.

Being an event that provides mentorship, nurturing and hands-on development for filmmakers, Qumra invites prominent cineaste to hold master classes.

This year’s event which will hold on March 12-17 online will have Claire Denis (French filmmaker), James Gray (American director), Jessica Hausner (Austrian film director), Mark Mangini (American sound editor) and Phedon Papamichael (Greek cinematographer) as its guest presenters.
