Fajr Film Festival to screen 2 anti-Daesh movies

The 36th Fajr Film Festival is to screen two anti-Daesh movies.

The 36th edition of the Fajr Film Festival (FFF) in Iran has set to screen two anti-Daesh movies.

The movies ‘Flight in the Levant Time’ by Ebrahim Hatamikia and ‘Emperor of Hell’ by Parviz Sheikh-Tadi, picked for the main competition at the FFF, revolve around anti-Daesh themes.

‘Flight in the Levant Time’ focuses on security threats by terrorists when an Iranian plane, conveying humanitarian aid to Syria, is challenged in Damascus Airport.

Popular Iranian actors Babak Hamidiyan and Hadi Hejazifar as well as a number of actors from Syria and Lebanon star in the film.

Themed on terrorists, and specifically Daesh, ‘Emperor of Hell’ stars the 83-year-old veteran Iranian actor Ali Nasiriyan.

Farrokh Nemati, Aliram Nouraei, Saba Kamali, Saeed Rad, and Kourosh Zarei are the other notable figures among the cast.

Established in 1982, the Fajr International Film Festival celebrates cultural exchange, displays creative achievements of highly acclaimed cineastes and pays tribute to local and international films.

Since its establishment, the Fajr International Film Festival has played a vital role in the development of Iranian Cinema.

Supervised by Iran’s Ministry of Culture, the festival hosts veteran directors and new filmmakers from Iran and across the world every year.

The 36th edition of the Fajr Film Festival is slated for February 1-11, 2018, in Tehran.
