Iran doc to be screened at SAIFF

Iranian documentary ‘Overruled’ is to go on the silver screen at South Asian International Film Festival (SAIFF) in Nepal.

Co-directed by Farnaz and Mohammad Reza Jourabchian, ‘Overruled’ will be showcased at the largest film premiere destination for South Asian/Indian filmmakers in the United States.

Striving to offer a different image of Afghans, ‘Overruled’ narrates the lives of some young Afghans who found refuge in Iran after the trembling time of war in Afghanistan. The boys have started working in low positions in Iran, but working hard, they have achieved considerable accomplishments.

Established in 1997, the South Asian International Film Festival (SAIFF) is committed to exhibiting films on humanitarian issues with the aim of raising international awareness and social responsibility and sympathy with the people of Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Burma.

The 14th edition of the South Asian International Film Festival will be held on November 2-6, 2017.
