Qantas buys My Tehran for Sale
Qantas will show the unofficial Iran/Australia co-production My Tehran for Sale as part of its in-flight entertainment selection from February to April.
Producer Kate Croser told Encore that the film will also screen at pay-TV channel World Movies later this year, and she’s still trying to ‘get it out there’ in spite of the limited opportunities for art house films.
“It’s a very art house film, spoken in a foreign language, and there are less places for those films at the moment. It’s hard to find cinemas in Sydney, but the film will continue to find its way into venues over time,” she said.
My Tehran for Sale premiered at the Adelaide Film Festival last year, and had a limited theatrical release in South Australia, NSW and Tasmania. It received funding from the South Australia Film Corporation and the Adelaide Film Festival Fund. It is spoken mostly in Farsi.
