Iran’s ‘Sparrow’ set for Georgian cinema release
The rollout underscores a cautious widening of regional exhibition channels for Iranian cinema at a time when domestic filmmakers are increasingly looking abroad to offset tight financing and limited screening windows at home, while Georgian theatres continue to diversify programming beyond Hollywood and European fare, ILNA wrote.
The film previously won Best Film and Best Actor at the 34th Girona Film Festival in Spain. It also earned the Best Actor award for Abbas Ghazali and received nominations for Best Leading Actress for Nahal Dashti and Sheida Khaligh at the Love Film Festival in the United States.
Also, it was honored for Best Music and Best Sound Design at the FICINDIE International Independent Film Festival in the Canary Islands, Spain. The film has been screened at festivals in the Netherlands, Hungary, Italy, and Germany.
Produced by Minerva Film in partnership with Lance Film, ‘Sparrow’ brings together a mixed ensemble cast led by Abbas Ghazali and Sheida Khaligh, alongside Nahal Dashti, Soheil Saei, Sanaz Aghaei and Arash Azizi.
