Zigguart is thrilled to announce that the feature film Ext – Friendship – Night, directed by Mehdi Ahmadpanah and produced by Amir Shahab Razavian, has been selected for the prestigious 7th edition of the AmiCorti International Film Festival, taking place from June 23 to June 28, 2025, in Roccaraso (AQ), Italy.
Following its success at the 36th Girona Film Festival as a semi-finalist and receiving an Honorable Mention at the Folkestone Film Festival in England, the debut feature by Mehdi Ahmadpanah is now set to take the next step in its international journey. AmiCorti International Film Festival is known for celebrating contemporary cinema and is especially dedicated to emerging directors and independent filmmakers. The festival offers a global platform for unique artistic perspectives, with both in-person and virtual participation options.
The festival is committed to fostering creativity, innovation, and the exploration of social issues through cinema, making it a vital gathering for the international film community. It provides an important space for cultural exchange, diversity, and inclusivity, contributing to its recognition as one of the most significant events in the global film festival circuit.
Ext – Friendship – Night follows the story of four old friends gathering on the eve of one’s departure for military service. As one of them documents the events of that night, the story explores the passage of time, memories, and the bond of friendship. Years later, one of the friends returns to his country in an attempt to reunite the group.
Director Mehdi Ahmadpanah, born in Tehran, began his academic career in mechanical engineering before discovering his passion for cinema. He later shifted his focus and pursued film direction at the Tehran University of Art. Ahmadpanah made his debut feature film in 2016, which was showcased at the Fajr Film Festival, and has continued to contribute to both theater and cinema in Tehran.
We’re excited to see Ext – Friendship – Night take its place at this influential film festival and look forward to sharing this incredible journey with audiences around the world.
Stay tuned for more updates on the festival and the film’s journey!
