Iranian film to vie in Thailand

The 5th Annual 9FilmFest in Thailand has set to screen Iranian film ‘Autumn Leaves’.

Directed by Mehdi Fard-Qaderi, the short film will vie at the competition section of the festival.

“On a rainy night a man runs through several options in his head, imagining different futures for himself,” the ‘Autumn Leaves’ synopsis reads.

Born in 1986 in Neyshabour, Fard-Qaderi has a degree in the restoration of ancient buildings and finished the Iranian Young Cinema film courses in Tehran.

He made his first short film, ‘Alternation’, in 2005. His other short film credits include ‘Life of Khorshid’ (2008), ‘Gramophone’ (2010), ‘The Reversed Circles’ (2011), ‘Mirror Narration of Simple Stories’ (2013) and ‘Story of Rainy Night’ (2014).

'Immortality' (2016) was Fard-Qaderi’s feature film debut.

The 9FilmFest receives films from around the world to share the talents, artistry, and stories of brilliant filmmakers.

Films from India, Thailand, Canada, the US, Italy, France, Iran, Afghanistan, Germany, Australia, the UAE, and Singapore will be screened during the festival.

The 5th edition of the festival is to be held on December 16-17, 2017, in the city of Bangkok.
