Will Ghatel va Vahshi receive a permit?
According to Cinemadrame News Agency, Hamid Nematollah has filled out the Fajr Festival form, and now we must ask: will the screening ban of Ghatel va Vahshi (Killer and Savage) be lifted in the new government? Surely, without a green light, we wouldn’t have heard this news publicly!
The curse surrounding the film Ghatel va Vahshi, directed by Hamid Nematollah, may finally be broken after several years, and it is highly likely that it will be screened at the 43rd Fajr Film Festival. Currently, the festival entry form for the film has been completed, and the final version of the film will be sent to the festival office next week. After Pir Pesar (Old Boy) directed by Oktay Baraheni, the presence of Ghatel va Vahshi in the collection of films at the 43rd festival could be a very significant event.
As rumors suggest, even if Ghatel va Vahshi does not make it to the Iranian Cinema competition section, it is very likely to appear in one of the side sections. However, with the appointment of Manoochehr Shahsavari as the festival secretary and a non-governmental selection committee, it is hopeful that Ghatel va Vahshi will participate in the competitive section of the festival.
