Young Iranian director Sadegh Sadegh-Daghighi who is enjoying his second filmmaking on the theme of the Sacred Defense (Iraq-Iran Imposed War in 1980-88) told Mehr News correspondent that Until Ahmad Arrives underwent a second editing before being submitted to the 8th JIFF secretariat.
“I added to the emotional depth of the film and dramatized the story between the Iraqi man and the Iranian girl before submitting it to Jaipur festival, which was then accepted to compete at the event considering the human aspects of the film,” he said.
The Iranian filmmaker also noted that his feature film has been submitted to the Busan International Film Festival, held annually in Haeundae-gu, Busan, South Korea.
