New Horizons screening ‘Hit the Road’

The 2021 edition of the New Horizons International Film Festival in Poland has been screening Iranian feature ‘Hit the Road’.

Written and directed by Panah Panahi, the movie follows a chaotic, tender family that is on a road trip across a rugged landscape, fussing over the sick dog and getting on each other’s nerves. Only the mysterious older brother is quiet.

Hassan Majouni, Pantea Panahiha, Rayan Sarlak, and Amin Simiar are on the cast list of the 93-minute movie.

‘Hit the Road’ was a success during Directors' Fortnight at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. It is also scheduled to go on screen at the 55th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic.

Launched in 2001, the New Horizons Film Festival is an international event held annually in July and/or August in Wroclaw, Poland.

It is one of the biggest and most popular film festivals in Poland. The festival mainly presents art-house cinema. The most important among the several competitions held at the festival is the "New horizons international competition".

The 21st edition of the event has been scheduled for August 12-22, 2021.
