Iranian 'Paradise' to hit UK final

Iranian film 'Paradise' has been selected to compete at final round of the 2nd edition of the Out Of The Can Film Festival in the UK.

Directed by Ali Atshani, the film narrates the story of two seminary students who wish to attend an academic seminar on religions in Germany. Their teacher, however, doesn't give them the permission to do so.

The two young men convince the teacher to even go with them, though. Now the three are on a mission to show the true face of Islam to the world and draw a line between the real Islam and the fake divisions.

Mohammad-Javad Ezzati and Mehran Rajabi are two of the Iranian actors who play starring roles in the film. Some German actors have also appeared in the 2015 movie.

The flick has previously gone on screen at the 2018 edition of the High Coast International Film Festival in Sweden.

The Out Of The Can Film Festival will be held at the Derby Quad in August 2018. The festival will have two days of screenings.
