Iranian director Salem Salavati’s documentary The Last Winter has been selected to contend for award at the 2013 Golden Apricot Yerevan Film Festival.
The 77-minute film is an allegory in which the depicted family represents those ones who are unable to change their resigned way of life.
Salavati’s documentary is an expanded version of his previous short Snowy Dreams with the same picturesque winter scenery, calm, realistic life style and culture of Iranian Kurdistan.
The Last Winter is also programmed to be screened at the Focus on Kurdish Film Section in the 2013 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival in Czech Republic.
Established in 2004, Golden Apricot Yerevan Film Festival is annually held and dedicated to the theme of Crossroads of Cultures and Civilizations.
Academy Award winning Iranian director Asghar Farhadi’s A Separation was the festival’s top winner in 2011.
The 2013 Golden Apricot Yerevan Film Festival is to take place from July 7 to 14, 2013.
