‘Weightlessness’ ready for int'l big-screen debut

Mehdi Fard-Qaderi’s ‘Weightlessness’ is ready to be watched by international audiences across the globe.

The international version of the movie has been prepared and will soon go on screen followed by domestic screening of the flick.

Fard-Qaderi's second feature length movie enjoys a cast team made of Tina Pakravan, Afsaneh Bayegan, Leila Otadi, Anahita Nemati and Bahareh Kian-Afshar.

Produced by Morteza Shayesteh, ‘Weightlessness’ has a feminine story penned by the director.

The main events of the film take place on a wedding night and the storyline focuses on the relationship between various women.

The film shoot took 17 sessions to accomplish, employing long take sequence shooting of 5, 7 and 8 minutes.

“The form and the plot in ‘Weightlessness’ go along with one another while it adopts a narrative rather than formalistic type of storytelling,” the director told media.  

Fard-Qaderi also noted that, “I’ve always been interested in making movies featuring portrayals of women because, to me, the complexity of their relationship is so compelling and albeit unpredictable.”
