TEHRAN (IMNA) - The documentary feature film “Dream’s Gate” directed by Negin Ahmadi and produced by Elaheh Nobakht had its English poster unveiled when featured in the competition category called Generations at the 73rd Berlin International Film Festival aka. Berlinale in Germany. The poster portrays Kobanî girls in combat with Daesh terrorist group .
Designed by Ehsan Barabadi for Berlinale representation, this poster was made to introduce the cinematic production to international audiences. “Dreams’ Gate” is a joint production of Iran, France, and Norway, set to have its world premiere in the Generations competition category of the 73rd Berlinale, vying for a prize along with films from various countries.
It took more than six years to make this film which narrates the story of an Iranian Kurdish girl searching for a part of her identity with her camera, amongst Kurdish girls in Kobani, women who not only rose against Daesh but waged a war for their world. This time around, the filmmaker herself, along with her camera, accompanies the female warriors in their encounters with the surrounding world and the values they are fighting for. The company Tasvir Gostar Elaheh Parsi (Eli Image) managed by Elaheh Nobakht has overtaken the production and international distribution of this film. This is the third time Elaheh Nobakht attends Berlinale as a producer, with last year’s feature-length film “The Apple Day” directed by Mahmoud Ghaffari.
Presided by Mariette Rissenbeek with artistic management by Carlo Chatrian, the 72nd Berlinale will be held from 16-26 February, 2022, consisting of competition sections such as Main Competition, Generations competition, Forum, Shorts, Documentary, and the non-competition category including Panorama, Special Screening, and Classic Cinema Screening.
