Iran’s ‘The Wasteman’ to premiere at Shanghai Int’l Film Festival
The film’s red-carpet event was held on June 15, attending cast members Nahid Seddiq, Maryam Hemmatian, and Ahoura Bahrami, ILNA wrote.
A 2024 production, ‘The Wasteman’ is about a middle-aged wagon driver, of a determined demeanor, who trundles a corpse toward the cemetery of a strange, silent village bereft of all apparent life.
Bahrami’s film will compete with 13 other films to win the Golden Goblet Award of the Chinese festival.
Famous international cineastes Rolf de Heer, Matthias Glasner, Leung Ka Fai Tony, Santiago Mitre, Sonthar Gyal and Zhou Xun will evaluate the films of this section, presided by Tran Anh Hung.
Nasrin Mirshab’s Dream Lab company is responsible for the international distribution of the film.
The Shanghai International Film Festival runs from June 14 to June 23.
