Netherlands fest to host Iran ‘Blockage’

Iranian movie ‘Blockage’ has been scheduled to be screened at the 47th edition of the Rotterdam International Film Festival (IFFR) in the Netherlands.

Directed by Mohsen Qaraei, ‘Blockage’ is to represent Iran at the most important European film event after Cannes, Berlin, Venice, and Locarno film festivals.

‘Blockage’ reflects the overwhelming chaos that happens to a vicious despicable man who works as a street vendor control officer.

Hamed Behdad, Baran Kosari, Mohsen Kiaee, Nader Fallah and Alireza Kamali star in the film.

The International Film Festival Rotterdam is one of the largest public film events in the world. The festival actively supports independent filmmaking from around the globe and is a recognized platform in Europe for launching new films and talents.

The 47th edition of IFFR is slated for January 24-February 4, 2018.
