Amir Naderi is a fresh modern Iranian filmmaker, having created works ranging from the monumental Iranian film "The Runner" (1985) depicting a boy who is all alone with overwhelming visual beauty, to "Cut" (2011), a film starring Hidetoshi Nishijima. Director Naderi, who had long dreamed of filming in Italy, has created a film that was completely located in Italy. A screening of "MOUNTAIN" will be held, beautifully depicting the breakthrough of a man who overuses his body, influenced by the sculptures of Michelangelo and Antonio. Please look forward to the talk show where audience members can hear the influence of Akira Kurosawa's works, which Naderi has highly respected!

＜Story＞

Late Middle Ages. Agostino lives in poverty with his wife Nina and son Giovanni outside a small village at the foot of the mountains. An immense mountain rises like a wall, stopping the sun’s rays and thus reducing their farmland to stones and twigs. Despite all suggestions to move away for a better life, Agostino insists his family’s fate lies there between the peaks. He firmly believes that a man’s roots cannot betray him. Agostino struggles in vain to find a solution to better provide for his starving family. But their lives do not improve, and Agostino decides to challenge the ancient mountain’s immensity and power.
