Iranian ‘The Warden’ vying at Brazilian Mostra

The Sao Paulo International Film Festival in Brazil is currently playing host to Iranian feature film ‘The Warden’.

Nima Javidi’s second movie is competing at the ‘New Directors Competition’ section of the 43rd edition of the Brazilian film event.

‘The Warden’ narrates the story of a warden who has big hopes of promotion on his head. He has recently been assigned a mission to evacuate the prison and move the inmates into another facility.

Should he be able to accomplish his task to the fullest, he will be rewarded. A prisoner, however, has gone missing which might bring the warden shame and bring down his dreams of promotion.

The 90-minute flick starring Navid Mohammadzadeh, Parinaz Izadyar, Mani Haqiqi and Setareh Pesyani got its premiere at the Fajr Film Festival in Iran where it won the Special Jury Award.

The São Paulo International Film Festival, which is internationally known as Mostra, is an annual film event held in the city of São Paulo, Brazil.

The 43rd edition of the event kicked off on October 17 and it is slated to wrap up on October 30, 2019.
