TEHRAN -- “Crazy Face”, director Abolhassan Davudi’s acclaimed drama about the abuse of the internet in modern Iranian society, is scheduled to be released during the Noruz holiday.
The film was named best film at the 33rd Fajr Film Festival, which was held in Tehran in early February. It also won the best director award for Davudi.
Alireza Raisian’s romance drama “The Love Age” and Masud Jafari-Jozani’s comedy “Iranburger” are the other movies that have been selected to hit Iranian theaters during the holiday season.
The films are selected by a council composed of representatives of distributors, cinema owners and the Cinema Organization of Iran.
Two other films will also be chosen from among Majir Esmaeili’s “The Little Black Fish”, Kamal Tabrizi’s “The Sweet Taste of Imagination”, Bahram Tavkkoli’s “I Am Diego Maradona” and Behruz Afkhami’s “Fox”.
“Fox” and “The Little Black Fish” have a good chance of being selected.
It is crucial for Iranian distributors and producers that their films are selected for release during the Noruz holiday when Iranian people have enough time to go to the cinema.
