“Valderama” by Abbas Amini won the jury award for best film at the 6th Prague Iranian Film Festival, which was held in the Czech capital from 10 to 15 January 2017. The film is about 15-year-old Valderama, so called for his resemblance to the Brazilian soccer star Carlos Valderrama, who is trying to obtain the ID card he’s never had.
Asghar Farhadi’s acclaimed drama “The Salesman” won the audience award. The film is about a young couple who move into a new flat in the center of Tehran. An incident linked to the previous tenant dramatically changes their life.
