TEHRAN – A documentary by director Hushmand Honarkar will be competing in the Silk Road International Film Festival in Dublin, Ireland in March.

“Tattooing in Iran” is more concerned about traditional tattooing in Iran rather than modern tattoos.

The film, based on lengthy research, focuses on traditional tattoos throughout many regions of Iran. It also highlights tattooing from social, artistic, religious, historical and medical points of view.

The 7th edition of the Silk Road International Film Festival will be held from March 7 to 11.
