TEHRAN – The Iranian film “Sarikand” by director Mehdi Parizad has been submitted to the 18th edition of the Busan International Film Festival, which will be running from October 3 to 12.
The film is due to go on screen at “A Window on Asian Cinema” section, in which the new or the most-talked-about films of the year by talented Asian filmmakers are shown, Parizad said in a press release on Monday.
The film tells the story of a filmmaking team that goes to Sarikand, a village near Miyaneh in East Azarbaijan, to produce a TV commercial on sunflower oil production. The team faces new challanges while making the commercial.
In the Azeri language, Sarikand means yellow village referring to the sunflowers growing in the region.
“I have actually gained a new and different view towards sunflowers and their fate in this film, an outlook that symbolically reveals the life of man,” Parizad said.
“Sarikand” has been produced by a Turkish company, the name of which was not given in the report.
