‘Paradise’ to premiere in Iran cinemas

Iran film ‘Paradise’ has been scheduled to go on the silver screen in the domestic cinema theaters.

Directed by Ali Atshani, the film will hit the screens of Iranian domestic cinema theaters from January 23, 2019.

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

‘Paradise’ 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.

So far, ‘Paradise’ has won three top prizes at the Chelsea Film Festival in New York, including Best Director for Atshani, Best Actor for Ezzati and Best Supporting Actor for Rajabi.
