Iranian director Majid Majidi\u2019s latest movie \u201cSun Children\u201d has been selected to be showcased in the CineMasters Competition of the Munich International Film Festival \u2013 Filmfest Munchen in Germany.<\/p>\n

The event is the largest summer film festival in Germany and second only in size and importance to the Berlinale.<\/p>\n

CineMasters Competition features the new works of master directors from all over the world.<\/p>\n

Ten other films, including \u201cThe Dog Who Wouldn\u2019t Be Quiet\u201d by Ana Katz, \u201cRiders of Justice\u201d by Anders Thomas Jensen and \u201cWife of a Spy\u201d by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, will be screened in this section.<\/p>\n

The child labor drama \u201cSun Children\u201d was among the 15 movies selected for the foreign-language film category longlist at the 93rd Academy Awards. However, it failed to receive a nomination at the Oscar race.<\/p>\n

The film is about 12-year-old Ali and his three friends. Together, they work hard to survive and support their families, doing small jobs in a garage and committing petty crimes to make fast money. Everything changes, however, when Ali is entrusted to find a hidden treasure underground but must first enroll at the Sun School, a charitable institution that tries to educate street kids and child laborers.<\/p>\n

The movie had its Iranian premiere during the 38th Fajr Film Festival in Tehran in February 2020, garnering the Crystal Simorghs for best film, script and set design.<\/p>\n

Numerous international events, including the 77th Venice Film Festival, have also screened the movie. The festival honored the film\u2019s star Ruhollah Zamani with the Marcello Mastroianni Award.<\/p>\n

The 33rd International Film Festival for Children and Youth in Isfahan also awarded Majidi as best director and Zamani as best actor.<\/p>\n

Strand Releasing, a leading U.S. distributor of foreign language, American independent and documentary films in theaters, on DVD\/Blu-Ray and via video-on-demand, has purchased U.S. rights to \u201cSun Children\u201d. \/T.T\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
