Now Playing: Bahman Ghobadi talks to French TV about 'No One Knows About Pesian Cats'

Description: Wild Bunch will handle international sales on Bahman Ghobadis No One Knows About Persian Cats. The company has already signed a deal with Mars Films for France after a packed screening in Paris last week, which drew fervent interest from some of the countrys biggest distributors. The film is a docu-fiction portrait of the underground music scene in contemporary Iran. It follows the attempts of two young musicians to form a rock band after being released from prison. Forbidden by the authorities to play in Iran, and dreaming of performing in Europe, they plan their escape. Persian Cats will open the Un Certain Regard sidebar. The film was co-written by Ghobadis girlfriend, Roxana Saberi, who is currently in a Tehran prison having recently been sentenced to eight years on a charge of spying for the US government. On Monday afternoon it was reported that Saberi would be freed after an appeals court reduced her eight-year sentence to a two-year suspended sentence. Screen has learned that Saberi will be given a 48 hour pass to accompany Ghobadi to Cannes this week for the Persian Cats screening on Thursday.
