TEHRAN – Iranian filmmaker Amir-Hossein Asgari’s movie “Borderless” won the Young Jury Award at the 19th Sofia International Film Festival, which was held in Bulgaria from March 5 to 15.
Bulgarian actor Nicola Stoyanov presided over the jury, which selected the film from the entries in the international section.
“Borderless” features the story of a schoolboy who always fishes from a grounded ship in the border zone. It is his place of seclusion and serenity and where he earns a livelihood as an angler. But his peace and tranquility are disturbed when a stranger appears.
The festival is organized annually by several Bulgarian institutions, including the Sofia Municipality, the Ministry of Culture, the National Palace of Culture, the National Film Center and Bulgarian National Television.
