Eight Iranian movies will be competing in the 13th Bengaluru International Film Festival opening on March 3 in the Indian city of Bengaluru.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Hero\u201d, \u201c180\u00b0Rule\u201d and \u201cFathers\u201d will be screened in the Cinema of the World category, while \u201cAbsence\u201d, \u201cCareless Crime\u201d, \u201cKiller Spider\u201d, \u201cThe Alien\u201d and \u201cTwo Dogs\u201d will be showcased in the Asian Cinema competition.<\/p>\n

\u201cA Hero\u201d, a co-production between Iran and France directed by two-time Oscar-winning director Asghar Farhadi, won the Grand Prix (ex aequo) at Cannes 2021.<\/p>\n

It follows Rahim, who is in prison because he was unable to pay a debt. During a two-day leave of absence from prison, he attempts to have his creditor withdraw his complaint over part of the sum owed. But things don\u2019t go as planned.<\/p>\n

Directed by Farnush Samadi, \u201c180\u00b0Rule\u201d tells the story of a school teacher from Tehran, who is preparing to attend a wedding in northern Iran. When her husband suddenly forbids her to go, she makes a choice that will place her on a painful path to atonement.<\/p>\n

\u201cFathers\u201d by Salem Salavati depicts that the confrontation of two different generations can lead to some problems, however, the film shows that an incident brings two generations together.<\/p>\n

\u201cAbsence\u201d has been directed by Ali Mosaffa, producer of \u201c180\u00b0Rule\u201d.<\/p>\n

The film is about an Iranian man who visits Prague to investigate his father\u2019s youth in the city. He finds himself in the shoes of a third man who is almost dead and happens to be of Iranian origin. The film shows how the heavy security atmosphere coming after the 1953 military coup in Iran forced some to flee the country to seek asylum in Eastern Europe.<\/p>\n

\u201cCareless Crime\u201d, winner of the Premio Bisato d\u2019Oro for Best Original Screenplay at the Venice Film Festival, has been directed by Shahram Mokri.<\/p>\n

It shows that protestors forty years ago, during the uprising to overthrow the Shah\u2019s regime in Iran, set fire to movie theaters as a way of showing opposition to Western culture. Forty years have passed and, in contemporary Iran, four individuals also decide to burn down a cinema. Their intended target is a theater showing a film about an unearthed, unexploded missile.<\/p>\n

Ebrahim Irajzad has directed \u201cKiller Spider\u201d based on a true story that occurred over ten years ago in the northeastern Iranian city of Mashhad.<\/p>\n

Saeid is a forty-year-old mason, severe and fanatical in his religious beliefs. One day his wife is accosted by a driver who assumes she is a prostitute. Seething with rage, Saeid seeks revenge.<\/p>\n

Directed by Nader Saeivar, \u201cThe Alien\u201d follows two mysterious strangers in a car. They begin to park daily in an otherwise ordinary Iranian neighborhood and are suspected to be national security, which unleashes a wave of paranoia and distrust among the neighbors, as each one feels they have reasons to be watched. The neighbors collectively suspect, however, that the main target for the surveillance is Bakhtiar, a Kurdish teacher, a newcomer and a foreigner, and attempt to pressure him into giving himself up or leave the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo Dogs\u201d directed by Amir Azizi is about Iman and Sajjad, two young men who are struggling with problems typical for 30-year-olds in contemporary Iran: unemployment, depression and lack of self-confidence. Iman is translating Franz Kafka\u2019s \u201cInvestigations of a Dog\u201d into Farsi and works as a cab driver, too. His passengers are similar to the characters of Kafka\u2019s story. Sajjad, Iman\u2019s best friend, is very inhibited because of the way he looks and is trying to obtain enough money for surgery. They both have dogs that look very similar to their owners. The dogs, not always welcomed by the families, make the men feel less lonely living in traditional Iranian society.<\/p>\n
