Vietnam awards ‘World War III’

Iranian movie ‘World War III’ has won awards at the Danang Asian Film Festival in Vietnam.

‘World War III’ grabbed the special jury award and the best actor award at the 2023 edition of the filmfest.

Directed by Houman Seyyedi, the film tells the story of Shakib who has lost his wife and child in an earthquake.

He works in a place where a movie on the World War is being filmed, and when one of the actors collapses, Shakib has been chosen as his stand-in.

Shakib is allowed to stay in the actor’s fake mansion, on condition that he doesn’t receive any visitors, but he makes a decision that endangers his fate.

The film is co-written by Seyyedi, Arian Vazir-Daftari, and Azad Jafarian.

‘World War III’ received its international premiere at the Venice International Film Festival in Italy. It took part in the festival’s Orizzonti section and managed to grab two awards.

The DANAFF is jointly organized by Vietnam Association of Film Promotion and Development (VFDA) and Da Nang Municipal People’s Committee, with the support of the Network for the Promotion of Asia Pacific Cinema (NETPAC).

This years’ edition of the festival was held on May 9-13.
