‘The Wastetown’ set for public release in France
ISNA – ‘The Wastetown,’ a film directed by Ahmad Bahrami and produced by Reza Moqaddas, is set to be released in French cinemas starting from August 2.
Bahrami was previously honored with the Best Director Award at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival for his exceptional work on ‘The Wastetown,’ a film that is yet to be released in Iran.
In the meantime, Reza Moqaddas, the producer of ‘The Wastetown,’ is currently presenting Hadi Mohaqqeq’s movie ‘Scent of the Wind’ in French cinemas, which has reportedly attracted an audience of over 20,000 viewers.
Starring a talented cast, including Baran Kosari, Ali Baqeri, and Babak Karimi, ‘The Wastetown’ features a compelling story set in a remote brick manufacturing factory that uses ancient methods for brick production. The factory employs families from different ethnic backgrounds, and the boss holds the key to resolving their challenges.
The film revolves around Lotfollah, a 40-year-old supervisor born on-site, who acts as a mediator between the workers and the boss. As the boss announces the factory’s imminent shutdown, Lotfollah’s priority becomes safeguarding Sarvar, the woman he has loved for a long time, from harm.
‘The Wastetown’ marks Ahmad Bahrami’s second feature-length film, following ‘The Wasteland,’ which received the prestigious Horizons Award at the Venice Film Festival.
