GIFF announces its next Global Lens film:Tuesday, October 20: “Those Three”

Those Three (An Seh)

A film by Naghi Nemati

Farsi and Turkish, with subtitles in English

Iran, 2007 (80 minutes)

Synopsis

Just one day from completing their military training, three conscripts desert their camp and escape into the frozen wilderness of Northern Iran. Travel through this mountainous, snowbound region is dangerous, but “those three” opt for the independence it promises and must now forge their way through an uncertain landscape, with only friendship to see them through. In this austere and mesmerizing debut feature, director Naghi Nemati’s attention to the minutiae of human relationships is a quiet and deliberate meditation on the value of responsibility, connection and sacrifice.
