Zionists conspired against world: ‘Holy Cast’ says

A narrative of romance and epic, dating flipside to 1500 years ago, ‘Holy Cast’ is back on the headlines.

The animated piece is a feature with several accolades in its bag, chronicling the story of Haran, the flick’s hero whose journey brings about a dramatic, romantic and tragic upshot to the astonished audience.

It’s a century before the dawn of Islam, and the historic city of Najran in today’s Yemen is where the events unfold. The surprising news is the storyline is based on a true historical story.

It wouldn’t baffle you to hear that an award winning long feature, with prizes snatched from several festivals, including New York, Madrid Film, Hollywood Int’l moving pictures, India’s Jaipur, Romania’s 12-months, London 12-months, and Iran’s Fajr fests (3 of them top prizes), which took over 2.5 years to produce, was recently banned in Lebanon (after its premier in Beirut), by seemingly pro-Zionist factions behind the scenes, while the world artists, professional jury people, and the folks watching it on the big screen have all praised it.

Mohammad Hamedani, the director says ‘In this animation, we show respect for the monotheistic religions and we make a distinction between the Christianity plagued with Zionism and the true believers in Jesus Christ (AS).’

Hamedani also noted that, ‘the movie also centers on those Christians who raised objections against slavery and then were burned due to their faith, causing the first true Holocaust to occur in the history of mankind.’

The director, in an interview, said he was a trainee of Iran’s late cinema guru, Abbas Kiarostami. He said the brave ideas made him think he would be kicked out of the proposal room at the outset, but it was welcomed; and that since it was unveiled, the flick has been on a rising trend of popularity.

Owj Media, the producer, says anti-resistance circles in Lebanon might be behind the ban.

In Iran, movie theaters will kick off screening the film for the public at cinemas nationwide, on December 6, 2017, the birth anniversary of the prophet of Islam.  

Watch out for the English dubbed version, or subtitles to be released, before you can have a chance to see and understand it.
