‘The Descendants’ qualifies for Swedish festival

Iranian film ‘The Descendants’ directed by Yaser Talebi has qualified for the 2017 Silver Horse International Film Festival in Sweden.

‘The Descendants’ will be screened during the festival’s 1st edition held from April 3 to April 7, 2017 in the Swedish city of Borlange.

Also written by Talebi, ‘The Descendants’ is about a relationship. Jacob’s family worries about Farrokh, the son of the family. Farrokh left Iran to continue his studies abroad, but he has not been in touch with them for a long time. Jacob travels to Sweden to look for his son.

Talebi’s movie has so far received a number of international awards, including Best Feature Film at the 14th Accolade Global Film Competition Award in the US and Best Picture at the 3rd Ammar Popular Film Festival in Iran.

The Swedish festival aims to highlight lesser-known aspects/genres of independent cinema, introducing audiences to some of the best productions of the year.
