Featuring a bevy of films which first wowed audiences at Cannes, Turkey’s Antalya Film Festival wrapped on Friday Oct. 5 with a crowded awards ceremony and a closing screening of “The Man Who Killed Don Quixote” held at the Glass Pyramid.
Jafar Panahi’s “Three Faces” scooped top honors in a bittersweet win; the famed Iranian new wave filmmaker is currently serving a 20-year filmmaking and travel ban following a dispute which culminated in charges of “Colluding with the intention to commit crimes against the country’s national security and propaganda against the Islamic Republic.”
Despite the ban the filmmaker’s output has not halted, and four films made since the ban’s implementation have screened at major festivals such as Cannes and Berlin. “Three Faces” follows three actresses from different generations at different stages of their careers and was described in a glowing Variety review as “empathetic and engaging.
