Davandeh. 1985.
Context:
Was apparently shot, or started to be shot, as early as 1982. Naderi's perseverance in those early years of post-revolution transition is what allowed the film to finally be produced.
The Film:
Set in the city of Abadan (Naderi's home-city). The character of Amiro has strong autobiographical dimensions with respect to Naderi's own life and personality.
Reception:
Its non-Iranian premiere was at the Nantes Three Continents Festival, where it won the Grand Prize.
