Iranian film to compete at Nigerian International Film Festival

An Iranian film known as "Patio" which was produced by Maryam Bahr al-Ulumi will be screened at the competition section of the Women's International Film Festival in Nigeria.

Directed Maryam Bahr al-Ulumi's first film "Patio" will compete in the competition section of the Nigerian International Women's Film Festival, after successfully competing at film festivals in Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Turkey, India, Bangladesh, and Argentina.

The Nigerian film festival will be held on the eve of International Women's Day, March 4 and 5, 2022 at the Convention Center in Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.

Bahr al-Ulumi has so far won the Diploma for Best Video Screenplay at the 8th City International Film Festival and the Best Female Filmmaker Award at the 18th Dhaka Bangladesh International Film Festival in its previous displays.

The movie tells the story of individuals whose city, no matter how large it is, looks similar to a small "Patio" for them.
