Iranian feature ‘Twenty-one Days Later’ has been selected to go on screen at the 2018 edition of the Regina International Film Festival (RIFFA) in Canada.

Directed by Mohammad-Reza Kheradmandan, ‘Twenty-one Days Later’ is a melodrama about a teenager who has to struggle with several challenges in order to fulfill his dad’s wishes.

The film’s synopsis reads, “It’s always the same! The last time the sky started getting cloudy, the weather became so wild that the storm could have pulled down the trees. It was pouring rain, the birds were screaming around their nests. One of the guys said he saw the sun flashing dim and light once or twice.”

Starring Sareh Bayat and Hamidreza Azarang, the Iranian film was premiered at the ‘Soda-ye-Simorgh’ section of the 35th edition of Iran’s Fajr Film Festival.

Grabbing a nomination for Best Visual Effects Crystal Simorgh, ‘Twenty-one Days Later’ was among the most popular audience picks at the 35th Fajr Film Festival.

It has gone on screen at the 11th Asia Pacific Screen Awards in Australia and received the Best Film award at the 25th Kinder Kino Film Festival in Germany as well as an award at the 2018 International Film Festival for Children and Youth - KINOLUB in Poland.
