TEHRAN -- The British film company “Can Too Entertainment” has purchased the world distribution copyright of the Iranian film “Banana Rind”.

The agreement was signed between Iran’s Bita Film Company and the British company on December 27.
“Banana Rind” was directed by Ali Atshani and the screenplay was written by Amir-Ali Mohsenian.
“Can Too Entertainment” will begin the global distribution of the movie after Tehran’s 26th Fajr Film Festival in February when it will premier in cities including Manchester, Birmingham, Hamburg, Istanbul and Kuala Lumpur.
