Fifty years later ‘Journey’ comes alive in restored short at BFI London
The screenings are scheduled for October 9 and 13, inn.ir reported.
Produced by the Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults (Kanoon), ‘Journey’ follows a 12-year-old orphan's quest to find a family, accompanied by a friend through the desolate outskirts of Tehran.
The film features performances by Sirus Hassanpour and Abbas Dastranj. It has garnered acclaim, winning the Golden Statue at the International Children’s Film Festival in 1972, and Best Short Film awards at both the Moscow and Chicago film festivals in 1973.
The restoration was completed at Roshana Studio under the direction of Kamran Saharkhiz, with support from Kanoon.
The BFI London Film Festival, a premier event in the global film calendar, features over 240 films from 79 countries this year, with an emphasis on female directors.
