‘Like A Secret’ to compete at Portobello in London
The festival, renowned for showcasing independent cinema, will run from August 28 to September 21, at venues including The Muse on Portobello Road and The Gate Picturehouse in Notting Hill.
The film explores the psychological turmoil of Baran, a 9-year-old girl grappling with trauma and neglect. As she navigates a blurred line between reality and nightmares, Baran seeks a confidant to share her burdens.
‘Like A Secret’ is produced by Hassan Mohammadi, with a team that includes cinematographer Pouyan Aghababaei and editor Emad Khodabakhsh. The international distribution is managed by Cinerama, led by Neshat Bagheri.
The Portobello Film Festival, established in 1996, is one of the UK’s largest free independent film festivals. It has previously launched the careers of filmmakers like Guy Ritchie and Shane Meadows. This year's edition promises a diverse lineup, featuring over 200 new independent films, and continues its tradition of free admission and screenings across various venues.
