Festival of Iranian Films in Scala

Echoes of 6th Iranian Film Festival will take place between 17th – 15th January 2017 in the university cinema Scala. The program features four notable films. A galvanizing, suspenseful and clear-eyed naturalistic piece The Salesman which received the best screenplay and the best actor award in Cannes IFF 2016. The director Asghar Farhadi is the most acclaimed living director of the Iranian cinema. Following film Nahid is a poignant and absorbing story of a divorced woman who tries hard to stand on her feet and turn over a new leaf.
Wednesday program will start with film I by Soheil Beiraghi which follows the unorthodox life of a multi-layered music teacher whose hands are long dirty in many wrongdoings. Addicted to the evil she conducts, she spirals down what seems to be a schizophrenic series of encounters and events that slowly lead her to an inescapable edge. The last film of Echoes in Brno will be bewildering melange of noir, mockumentary and outright fantasy, A Dragon Arrives! by Mani Haghighi.
