‘Invasion’ to represent Iran at Berlinale

Iranian film ‘Invasion’ is slated to vie at the Berlin International Film Festival in Germany.

Directed by Shahram Mokri, the movie will be presented at the Panorama section of the German festival.

Written by Mokri and Nasim Ahmadpour on a crime story, ‘Invasion’ is Mokri’s third feature film.

In the drama, someone’s been murdered and the police are investigating in the crime spot which is a sports arena.

They have taken the murder suspect into custody and try to find out the killing method.

However, since the friends of the murdered person are not to be very collaborative, the investigation gets more complicated.

Abed Abest, Babak Karimi, Elaheh Bakhshi, Pedram Sharifi, Behzad Dorani, Saeed Zarei, Mohamad Sareban and Levon Haftvan have starred in ‘Invasion’.

Founded in 1951, the Berlin International Film Festival is one of the world’s leading film events which is held in Germany and is celebrated annually in February.

The 68th edition of the Berlinale will run in the German city on February 15-25, 2018.
