‘Exodus’ sets new record

Iranian movie ‘Exodus’ has set a new record as the first movie to have online screening.

The movie directed by Ebrahim Hatamikia, has sold over 10 billion Rials in less than four days of online screening.

Over the COVID-19 pandemic, the flick did not get a theatrical release as it was scheduled during the Persian New Year holidays.

The film narrates the story of a number of peasants voicing their concerns to government officials.

‘Exodus’ got its premiere at the Fajr Film Festival last year and grabbed two awards for the best makeup and the best visual effects.

Besides Qaribian, Pantea Panahiha, Jahangir Almasi, Giti Qasemi, Mehdi Faqih, Sam Qaribian, Kambiz Dirbaz, Mohammad-Reza Sharifinia, and Atash Taqipour have appeared in the flick.
