The Iranian films “Sheeple” and “Kejal” will be competing in the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival running in the Estonian capital city of Tallinn from November 16 to December 2, the organizers have announced.
“Sheeple” by Hooman Seyyedi will be screened in the official competition, while Nima Yar’s debut “Kejal” will go on screen in the First Feature Competition.
“Sheeple” is about Shahin, a loud-mouthed fellow adopted years ago, who tries to establish his authority in a family run by the iron hand of his drug lord brother.
The film grabbed the audience Crystal Simorgh at the 36th Fajr Film Festival in February.
“Kejal” is a thrilling drama about a 26-year-old Kurdish woman, a student from Tehran, who takes on what is traditionally considered as a “man’s job” after his brother has been killed in a smuggling operation on the dangerous Iraq-Iran border.
The Greece-France-Latvia co-production “Still River” by director Angelos Frantzis, “Sunburn”, a Portuguese film by director Vicente Alves and “Winter’s Night” by South Korean director Jang Woo-jin are among the films competing in the event.
