TEHRAN – Shahram Mokri’s “Black Rabbit, White Rabbit” won an award at the 63rd International Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival, which was held in Türkiye from October 24 to 31.
At the closing ceremony of the festival, the film received the Sungu Capan International Cinema Writers Award, ISNA reported.
“Black Rabbit, White Rabbit,” which had its world premiere at the 30th Busan International Film Festival in South Korea last September, is a joint production of Tajikistan and the United Arab Emirates and deals with three people’s destinies that intertwine through apparently unrelated events.
Chekhov’s famous dramatic adage – if a gun appears, it must be fired – sets the scene for Mokri’s audacious latest, set in Tajikistan and replete with his hallmark virtuosic long takes, wry humor, and interlinking narratives.
