Iranian ‘Hit the Road’ wins in Slovenia

Iranian feature ‘Hit the Road’ has won the Jury Award at the 2021 edition of the Ljubljana International Film Festival in Slovenia.

Written and directed by Panah Panahi, the feature film follows a chaotic, tender family that is on a road trip across a rugged landscape and fussing over the sick dog and getting on each others’ nerves. Only the mysterious older brother is quiet.

Hassan Majouni, Pantea Panahiha, Rayan Sarlak, and Amin Simiar are on the cast list of the 93-minute movie.

The film has taken part in the BFI London Film Festival in the UK, the Sydney Film Festival in Australia, the Vancouver International Film Festival in Canada, the Chicago International Film Festival in the US, and the Zurich Film Festival in Switzerland.

The Ljubljana International Film Festival aims to screen international films annually.

The 2021 edition of the fest was held on November 10-21.
