Iran’s ‘District Terminal’ to vie at Hong Kong filmfest

The 45th edition of the Hong Kong International Film Festival (HKIFF45) has been scheduled to host Iranian-German ‘District Terminal’.

Co-directed by Bardia Yadegari and Ehsan Mirhosseini, the movie is about a drug-addicted poet named Peyman who attempts to finish a poem about his city that falls prey to pollution and a lethal virus.

The cast list of the film includes Yadegari, Maryam Moradi, and Ali Kamali.

‘District Terminal’ has already taken part in global events such as the Berlin International Film Festival in Germany.

Founded in 1976, the HKIFF45 is Asia’s oldest international film festival and a pioneer in introducing Hong Kong, Chinese language and Asian cinema and filmmakers to the world.

The 45th edition of the HKIFF is slated for April 1-12, 2021.
