Iran's “Black Noise” to premiere in Toronto festival
TEHRAN, June 6 (MNA) -- Iranian filmmaker Behruz Afkhami’s “Black Noise” will be competing in the 36th Toronto International Film Festival, which will take place from September 8 to 18.
The film is about Derek Tidd, an 87-year-old English man who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease who refuses to believe his wife has died.
Afkhami directed the film with an all-foreign cast and crew in 2010 when he lived in a self-imposed exile in Toronto. He is currently in Iran and plans to leave the country for Toronto to complete the final stage of the film.
The film was originally entitled “This Is Not My House”, but Afkhami renamed it “Black Noise” in October after he said that he planned to screen it in Iran.
Afkhami renamed his film in order to convince the Iranian Culture Ministry to give a screening license to the film in the future, critics said in the Persian press media.
He said the official Iranian regulations for cinematic productions were being observed in the production of the film, which is scheduled to be fully dubbed for its Iranian premiere.
Afkhami‘s “The Morning Son”, a film on Imam Khomeini, was severely criticized during its premiere in Iran’s Fajr festival in February.
He had previously asked the festival’s organizers to remove his name from the titles and credits of the film due to the fact that the film’s postproduction stage was completed in his absence.
