Unveiling ceremony of “Silent Tree” poster held in Tehran

The unveiling ceremony of “Silent Tree” was held by Art and Experience Cinema group in Tehran on September 3, 2023.

Directed by Faysal Soysal, the film narrates the life of Hayati who is a small-town literature teacher and an author who tries helplessly to hold on to his past: his shattering marriage, his sick old mother, a decaying walnut tree and the memory of his father. Instead of moving on with his life and taking control, he passively accepts its blows and is only interested in digging into the past, until his discovery forces him to confront his own weakness and answer the question: is standing idle while witnessing evil being done is just as much of a sin as doing it?

Serdar Orçin, Sezin Akbasogullari, Murat Mahmutyazicioglu and Kubra Kip are among the cast members of the flick.

The film has managed to win over 20 prize in several international film festival.
