A mention of Iran’s capital Tehran may make you think of politics, world affairs and other serious issues. But how about paintball, carwalking and a party of people dancing to music played by a DJ dressed up as the Joker? Welcome to the world of Tehran Another View, the new film from writer and director Ali Behrad (Tasavor), which will world premiere in the Special Screenings program of the 59th edition of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (KVIFF) on July 5.
“The moment they greet each other at their friends’ wedding, we know that Leili and Pasha were once a couple,” a synopsis on the KVIFF website reads. “But something split them apart. We see their story in flashback.”
The festival promises “a charming mix of genres” and highlights: “Iranian director Ali Behrad’s second feature film is a vibrant portrait of Tehran and its inhabitants.”
The cast of the film includes Ali Shadman, Anahita Afshar, Ayda Mahiani, and Reza Kolavani. Sales are being handled by Persia Film Distribution.
The trailer for the movie includes the mentioned paintball, DJ, people carwalking, and more, giving you a first sense for what to expect.
The 2025 edition of KVIFF runs July 4-12. The star-studded festival will honor Dakota Johnson, Stellan Skarsgård, Peter Sarsgaard and Vicky Krieps, with Michael Douglas also traveling to the picturesque Czech spa town to present a screening of a newly restored version of Czech-American directing legend Milos Forman‘s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, on which Douglas was a producer and which starred Jack Nicholson.
