‘Black Rabbit, White Rabbit’ to compete at 30th Busan Int’l Film Festival
Iranian filmmaker Shahram Mokri's latest feature, ‘Black Rabbit, White Rabbit,’ will have its world premiere in the Vision section of the 30th Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), which runs from October 3 to 12, in Busan, South Korea.
The film marks Mokri's return to the festival, following the screening of his short film Ando-C at the 14th BIFF. ‘Black Rabbit, White Rabbit’ is a co-production between Tajikistan and the United Arab Emirates, and features performances in Persian, Tajik, and Russian.
The narrative follows a woman who, after a car accident, begins to perceive her surroundings in increasingly surreal ways, blurring the lines between reality and illusion. The film's international distribution is managed by DreamLab Films, led by Nasrin Mirshab.
The Vision section at BIFF is renowned for showcasing innovative works by emerging and established Asian filmmakers. This year's lineup includes films from countries such as Japan, India, Indonesia, and Kazakhstan, reflecting the festival's commitment to presenting diverse cinematic voices.
Mokri's previous works, including ‘Fish & Cat’ and ‘Careless Crime,’ have garnered international acclaim for their inventive storytelling and cinematic techniques.
