TEHRAN, Aug. 14 (MNA) – Iranian feature movie ‘Ava’ will go on screen at Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

Directed by Sadaf Foroughi, Ava narrates the story of a 16-year-old girl, whose relationship with her family is challenged after her mother takes her to a gynecologist in order to ensure she’s still a virgin.

The 42nd annual Toronto International Film Festival is scheduled to be held from 7 to 17 September 2017. 

TIFF is one of the largest publicly attended film festivals in the world, attracting over 480,000 people annually. Over the last 42 years, TIFF has grown to become a year-round destination for film culture operating out of the TIFF Bell Lightbox, a dynamic centre for film culture that offers visitors a presentation that includes new releases, live film events and an interactive gallery.
