The Iranian documentary “Moving Up” by Loqman Khaledi was awarded at the Marseille International Film Festival (FIDMarseille), which was held from July 6 to 11 in France. The documentary grabbed the grand prix of the First Film Competition during the closing ceremony of the event on Monday, as Sheherzad Film Company official Karampur told the Persian service of ISNA. The film also competed in the International Competition section of the festival which manifests the quality of the doc, he added. The film is about Shahriar who is a garbage man in Kermanshah. His everyday life: rubbish and trash. But his mind is elsewhere. His life is literature. Shahriar loses himself in reading at the risk of forgetting the world, his family and the demands of his job. “Loghman Khaledi delivers the melancholy portrait of a man wrestling with his dreams. With neither condescension nor smug naivety, Khaledi makes his character the manifest ambassador of forbidden hopes”, as the festival’s website suggests.
