Roshd Int’l Film Festival honors ‘The Daughter of Iran’

Jalal Ashkezari’s ‘The Daughter of Iran’ has been named as the best feature film at the 52nd Roshd International Film Festival in Tehran.

On behalf of the director, the film’s producer Hamed Bamorovvatnejad received the golden statue in the closing ceremony of the event which was held at Felestin Cinema on Sunday evening.

Also written by Ashkezari, ‘The Daughter of Iran’ has been set in the 80s which coincides with the 1360s of the Persian calendar, being one of the most nostalgic eras of our history.

The film narrates a love story of an Iranian soldier during the 1980s when Iraq launched a long bloody war against Iran.

Founded in 1963, the Roshd International Film Festival is Iran’s first and longest standing global film event.

The Roshd festival is organized annually by the Ministry of Education to promote films on educational topics for children.

The latest edition of the event was held on November 28 – December 6, 2022.
