New York-based sales company Visit Films has boarded “Achilles,” the Iran-set feature debut of Farhad Delaram, a promising filmmaker whose short “Tattoo” won the Crystal Bear in the Generation 14plus at Berlin in 2019., followed by a European premiere at San Sebastian. The film follows Farid –nicknamed Achilles– a former filmmaker turned orthotic doctor, who works nights in Iran’s capital.
The movie is headlined by Mirsaeed Molavian and Behdokht Valian . It’s produced by Saeed Shahsavari, Frieda Oberlin, Johannes Suhm and Caroline Nataf . Producers are Iran’s GalanGedan Film Production and Saeed Shahsavari, Germany’s Basis Berlin Filmproduktion, Barrieri Filmproduktion and France’s Unité.
“Iran is such a wonderful, yet politically complicated country,” said Visit president Ryan Kampe. He added that “Delaram allows us a view into the delicate nuance and struggles of everyday people as they are faced with moral and personal decisions that affect themselves as well as those around them. ”
He described the helmer as “a new voice in contemporary Iranian cinema” which delivers a “free perspective” on these topical issues. Delaram, who was born and raised in Tehran, is part of a wave of local filmmakers tackling political issues within modern Iranian society. Several prominent filmmakers and actors have been arrested, put on trial or banned from making movies — either because they protested against the Iranian regime’s oppressive rules, or because they made films deemed critical.
