“Twenty” wins silver trophy at Damascus filmfest

TEHRAN, Nov. 8 (MNA) -- The Iranian drama “Twenty” won the silver award of the 17th Damascus International Film Festival on Saturday.

The prize is awarded to the second best film at the festival, the 17th edition of which took place from November 1 to 7.

 

Directed by Abdorreza Kahani, “Twenty” focuses on a once-popular reception hall now reduced to catering to the funeral business, whose workers are struggling to preserve.

 

Kahani has previously won the jury special award at the 44th Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in the Czech Republic in July.

 

The South Korean film “Treeless Mountain” was awarded the gold trophy of the Damascus film festival while Moroccan social drama “Casanegra” won the festival’s bronze prize.
