Split Film Festival showing ‘Killing the Eunuch Khan’

Iranian movie ‘Killing the Eunuch Khan’ is competing at the Split Film Festival in Croatia.

Iranian movie ‘Killing the Eunuch Khan’ has been going on screen at the Split Film Festival in Croatia.

Directed by Abed Abest, the 110-minute movie is competing at the Frame Extended section of the Croatian gala.

The movie narrates the life story of a serial killer.

Set during the war between Iraq and Iran, a father lives with his two daughters in a big, strangely haunted house in a nearly deserted city close to the border.

One day, he leaves the girls at home alone in order to participate in a funeral ceremony.

That same day, the city is struck by a bombing raid, and a bomb falls in his garden.

From that point on, some sort of ghostly vibration unhinges his own reality, and the world of the dead seems to mingle with the world of the living.

Produced by Shahrzad Seifi, the cast list of the film includes Ebrahim Azizi, Vahid Rad, Misaq Zare, Iman Basim, Sara Mohammadi, Gilda Vishki, and Mahsima Kabari.

The movie has previously participated in a number of international festivals in Taiwan, Brazil, Estonia, Germany, and India.

It won the Breakouts Feature Grand Jury Prize at the Slamdance Film Festival and the Grand Prix at the Flickers’ Rhode Island International Film Festival, both in the US.

At the Split Film Festival, the international competition of feature and short films is the backbone of the program, which is open to all new, creative, personal, experimental, radical, and subversive works of all lengths and genres.

The 2022 edition of the event has been slated to take place in Split, the second-largest city in Croatia, on September 1-9.
