The film was competing in the official section of the festival, which began on June 24.
A jury composed of Polish filmmaker Krzysztof Zanussi, Portuguese screenwriter Miguel Barros and German producer Dagmar Jacobsen picked “Immortality” for the courageous use of a single location in a single shot.
“Beyond his mastery, we recognize that it is a well-written and recited movie whose purpose is to provide a unique fresco in modern Iran. What a success,” the jury said in a statement.
“Immortality”, which is a one-shot feature film, tells the story of some strangers who have to spend a rainy night together on a train.
