Iran feature en route to two int’l film festivals

Iranian feature ‘The Skier’ by Fereydoun Najafi will go on screen at two international film festivals in the UK.

Cambridge Film Festival and London Iranian Film Festival are two international film events that will host ‘The Skier’ on October 25 - November 1 and October 26 - November 3, 2018, respectively.

The ethno-fictional film is about a boy from Iran’s Kouhrang County who faces problems on his way to take a little ibex to a tribal ritual in a snowy remote region in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province.

‘The Skier’ has earlier bagged six awards at the 30th edition of International Film Festival for Children and Youth (IFFCY) in Iran Isfahan Province.  

The Cambridge Film Festival is the third longest running film festival in the UK organized by the registered charity Cambridge Film Trust.

London Iranian Film Festival is an annual, independent film festival held in London, United Kingdom. The festival acts as an exhibition to provide further access to Iranian films that would otherwise not reach the silver screens in London.
