Canada to host Iran film

Iranian movie ‘Beyond the Wall’ is scheduled to be screened at the Toronto International Film Festival in Canada.

Vahid Jalilvand’s latest directorial experience will represent Iran at the Contemporary World Cinema section of this year’s edition of the event.

“A blind man finds himself harbouring a fugitive, in Vahid Jalilvand’s palpably claustrophobic and profoundly allegorical film about what will happen if we become isolated from our humanity,” a short synopsis of the film reads.

Navid Mohammadzadeh, Daiana Habibi, Amir Aghaee, Alreza Kamali and Saeed Dakh star in the film.

Toronto International Film Festival is one of the largest publicly attended film festivals in the world, attracting over 480,000 people annually.

Since its founding in 1976, TIFF has grown to become a year-round destination for film culture operating.

The 2022 edition of the event is slated for September 8-18.
