TEHRAN -- The Iranian family drama “A Cube of Sugar” has been picked as the best feature film at the 4th Ibn Arabi International Film Festival (IBAFF) in Murcia, Spain.
In “A Cube of Sugar”, members of a large family come together in a happy friendly atmosphere to make preparations for their youngest sister’s engagement party. However, a series of bad news ruins everything planned.
Negar Javaherian, Rima Raminfar, Saeid Pursamimi, Parivash Nazarieh, Reza Kianian and Hedayat Hashemi are the A-list cast of the film.
World-renowned Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami also held a series of workshops, which are composed of theoretical and practical sessions, on the sidelines of the festival.
The festival is named after the great Andalusian philosopher, poet and mystic, Ibn Arabi, who was born in Murcia in 1165.
