00:04 Hi, I'm Ali Reza Ghassemi, an Iranian filmmaker,

00:09 born and raised in Tehran, but I'm currently based in Paris.

00:12 And I'm Rahamir Fazli, an Iranian filmmaker,

00:15 also born and raised in Tehran, and I'm

00:17 currently based in New York.

00:19 We are the writers, directors, and co-producers

00:22 of In the Land of Brothers, which

00:25 will have its premiere in Sundance Film Festival

00:27 2024 in awards cinema competition.

00:31 This film was only made possible through our talented cast

00:34 and wonderful crew.

00:36 For a story that leans heavily on family love and strength,

00:39 we were able to find the same dynamic in our production

00:42 family.

00:43 Our story is set in Iran, where a harsh reality exists

00:47 for more than 5 million Afghan war refugees who

00:51 are building new lives in a society that

00:53 consider them to be less than.

00:57 Our film follows one such extended family

01:01 during the course of 30 years.

01:06 They persevere only to find the cost of their long-held dreams

01:11 is almost more than they can bear.

01:13 In the Land of Brothers is our debut feature.

01:16 We shot it in 46 days in five different cities

01:19 throughout Iran and during four different seasons.

01:23 It shows a picture of Iran that the audiences may not

01:26 have seen.

01:27 Many of these locations were often missed by our Afghan cast,

01:31 and we had to shoot their scenes while hiding them

01:33 in plain sight.

01:34 This is our first time in Park City,

01:37 and we are super excited to see you at our screenings

01:41 or around the town.

01:43 And if you see us, please let us know your favorite Park City

01:46 spots.
