Zagreb Film Festival to host ‘Sunless Shadows’

Iranian documentary ‘Sunless Shadows’ has been selected to compete at the 18th edition of the Zagreb Film Festival in Croatia.

Made by Mehrdad Oskouee, the documentary narrates the story of five young women who are jailed in a small juvenile detention center for murder.

Through breathtaking monologues, the women clarify the circumstances of the murders and even their motives.

The 74-minute documentary has gone on screen at some global events, including the 60th Krakow Film Festival in Poland, the 19th DocPoint - Helsinki Documentary Film Festival in Finland, the 17th Big Sky doc filmfest and the Museum of Modern Art in New York in the US.

Zagreb Film Festival is one of the most attended and main events in Croatia.

The event aims to promote and present debut films and new filmmakers.

The festival is scheduled for November 2020.
