 Fajr slot grabber 'Buffoon' by Homayoun Ghanizadeh has released poster prior to the major national filmfest in Iran.

The flick slated to screen at the 37th edition of Fajr Film Festival went on poster as a prelude to upcoming participation at competition and New Look sections of the February event in the country.

The plot summary for cinematic debut ‘Buffoon’ reads, “Danesh is fond of cinema and in love with Homa, the city’s favorite actress. Mr. Kazem is fond of Casablanca and his business license. “

“Shapour is fond of tuna fish ... The city is filled with beggars and on the verge of an imminent earthquake. Also, every once in a while, a corpse of a woman with a shaved head is washed up on shore,” the synopsis adds.

Produced by Ali Mosaffa, the film boasts a string of award-winning stars on the cast list such as Ali Nasiriyan, Saber Abar, Babak Hamidiyan, Reza Kianian, and Hediyeh Tehrani.

Founded in 1982, the Fajr Film Festival will be held from January 30-February 11, 2019 commemorating the 40th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran.
