TEHRAN -- Two theaters in Geneva, Switzerland, have screened “It’s a Dream” by Iranian director Mahmud Ghaffari.
“Screenings have been in progress at the theaters since four weeks ago and I will try to get the international premiere of the film continued,” Ghaffari told the Persian service of MNA on Tuesday.
“Since there is a lack of good conditions for screening cultural and independent films in Iran, I am not insisting on screening the film in the country,” he added.
Due to these conditions, he also said that he prefers that his film is released only in Iran’s home video market.
“It’s a Dream” is about Roya, a resourceful young woman who is juggling with loans to pay back a large debt.
With her gift of gab and her determination to fight her way out, she finds herself at the top of a small ponzi scheme that promises to be lucrative, but very soon the mechanism seizes up and a sense of control gives way to anxiety.
The film was shown at the 27th Fribourg International Film Festival in March 2013 and won the Talent Tape Award and the Special Jury Prize of the Swiss festival.
It is scheduled to compete in the Edinburgh International Film Festival, which will be held in the capital of Scotland from June 19 to 30.
