The Iranian film ‘Fereshte’, featuring the talented Bangladeshi actress Jaya Ahsan, has been selected for the 42nd International Fajr Film Festival in Tehran, Iran. The film will compete in the main category of the festival.
Last year, ‘Fereshte’ was screened at the Goa Film Festival in India. Additionally, the film is set to be showcased at the Dhaka International Film Festival in Bangladesh next month.
Competing alongside renowned Iranian filmmakers, Jaya's ‘Fereshte’ will depict a story directed by Morteza Atashzamzam, with Jaya playing the role of a resilient woman.
Out of 106 Iranian films, only 22 movies, including ‘Fereshte’, have been selected to participate in the competition. Notably, ‘Fereshte’ stands as the only film created under joint production.
The festival is scheduled to take place in the first week of the upcoming month.
