Munich Film Festival to host “Subtraction”, “Empty Nets”
Tehran (ISNA) – The 40th Munich International Film Festival will host two Iranian feature films.
“Empty Nets” directed by Behrooz Karamizade will be screened at the “New German Cinema” section of the festival.
“Empty Nets” narrates the story of Amir, a young Iranian, who signs on with a fisherman on the rugged Caspian Sea coast in order to earn the money he needs to marry his sweetheart, Narges. But in so doing, he becomes entangled in the criminal machinations of caviar poaching.
Piece by piece, a complex hierarchy is revealed in a parallel realm that becomes ever more constricting and oppressive, endangering Amir’s relationship with Narges as well.
Hamid Reza Abbasi, Sadaf Asgari, Keyvan Mohamadi, Pantea Panahiha and Ali Bagheri are among the cast members of the film.
Moreover, “Subtraction” directed by Mani Haghighi will be screened at the “International Independents” section of the event.
It narrates the story of Farzaneh who is a young driving instructor in Tehran. she sees her husband, Jalal, go into another woman’s apartment. When she confronts him about this, Jalal claims he was away on business. Puzzled by her story, he decides to take a look at the building for himself. There he meets a woman who is the spitting image of Farzaneh. Her name is Bita. Astonished, the two compare family photos. Bita’s husband also looks exactly like Jalal.
Taraneh Alidoosti, Navid Mohammadzadeh, Esmail Poor-Reza and Farham Azizi are among the cast members of the film.
The 40th Munich International Film Festival will be held June 22-July 1, 2023 in Germany.
