Iranian ‘Botox’ on way to Bulgaria

The Burgas International Film Festival (BIFF) in Bulgaria has been set to host Iranian-Canadian feature ‘Botox’.

The movie, Kaveh Mazaheri’s first feature-length, will be shown at the Feature Film Competition section of the 6th edition of the Bulgarian event.

‘Botox’ is about Akram and Azar, two siblings who have lied to everyone about their brother’s disappearance. They have told others that he fled to Germany and that they have no news of him.

Gradually, the lie turns into reality in Akram’s mind. She starts to count the days for her brother to come back.

Sousan Parvar, Mahdokht Molaee, Soroush Saeedi, Morteza Khanjani and Mohsen Kiani are among the cast members of the flick.

The film has previously been screened at a number of global filmfests, including the Torino Film Festival in Italy.

Mazaheri, the director, has already made some successful short films, such as ‘Retouch’, which took part in more than 50 global film events and gained a plethora of honors.

The BIFF, slated for July 16-23, aims to accommodate movie-lovers with quality films from around the world.
