Iran’s ‘Orange Days’ to attend German festival

Iranian film ‘Orange Days’ has been set to participate at the 6th edition of the Visions of Iran film festival in Germany.

Directed by Arash Lahouti, ‘Orange Days’ narrates the story of Aban, the only female contractor in the cutthroat and male-dominated orange harvesting industry, who enters a competition to win a large contract. Her efforts remain futile while anyone involved in her story tries to fail her.

The flick stars Hediyeh Tehrani, Ali Mosaffa and Mehran Ahmadi among others.

The film will also attend the Seattle International Film Festival (SIFF) in the US and the Imagineindia International Film Festival in Spain later this month.

‘Orange Days’ has gone on screen at several international events, including the 14th Zurich Film Festival in Switzerland, the 18th Calgary International Film Festival in Canada, the 43rd Toronto International Film Festival in Canada, the 42nd São Paulo International Film Festival in Brazil, the 2018 Torun International Film Festival in Poland, the 2018 MedFilm Festival in Italy, the 8th Malatya International Film Festival in Turkey, and the 16th Chennai International Film Festival in India.

‘Orange Days’ brought Tehrani the Best Actress award of the 2018 CineIran Festival in Canada and won three awards at the 67th Mannheim-Heidelberg International Film Festival in Germany.

The 6th “Visions of Iran” will kick off in the German city of Cologne on May 30 and will run until June 2, 2019.
