Kota Kinabalu to host Iran’s ‘Exchange’

The Kota Kinabalu International Film Festival (KKIFF) in Malaysia has been scheduled to screen Iranian short flick ‘Exchange’.

Directed by Barzan Rostami, the short flick is competing at the 13th edition of the Malaysian event.

‘Exchange’ is about people’s irresponsibility in critical situations that forces them to do anything unusual to save their lives.

It has also gone on screen at some global events, including the Riverside International Film Festival in the US and the Ischia Film Festival in Italy.

The KKIFF is to provide film-going audiences with an opportunity to see local, Asian and international commercial and independent films as a way of promoting international understanding.

It is the goal of the KKIFF that it will become a significant annual event in the film world in the ASEAN region.

The 13th edition of the event will be held on September 17-25, 2022.
