Private: Screening at the Iconic Prince Charles Cinema in London
Private, the short film directed by Sara Mokhavat, has been selected for the Discover Film Awards film festival in London and will screen from Thursday, 28th September to Sunday, 1st October 2023, in central London at the iconic Prince Charles Cinema in Leicester Square. After The Chicago International Film Festival 2021, Nepal International Film Festival (NIFF) 2022, The Vaughan International Film Festival 2022, and Symbiotic Film Festival in Kyiv, Ukraine, now Mokhavat’s film arrives in central London in Leicester Square and at Prince Charles Cinema.
The Discover Film Awards is one of the biggest short film festivals in the world, with over 3,000 annual submissions from 100+ countries. There are global premiers in London’s Leicester Square with packed cinema audiences, filmmaker parties, and red-carpet events with funding available for new projects. This festival has one of the largest short film cash prize funds of £28,000, including the prestigious Craghoppers Film Prize.
The Discover Film Awards is consistently voted by filmmakers in the top film festivals in the world. Spread over five days in September 2023, the festival involves public cinema screenings at the Prince Charles Cinema in Leicester Square. Quentin Tarantino describes it as his favorite cinema in London, saying it is everything an independent movie theatre should be.
Private is a short drama that challenges social problems and women’s restrictions in Iran. Sara Mokhavat describe the film by saying: People are getting bored with their ordinary lives and trying to escape from that, but not us! We are searching for it, idealizing it, trying to picture it, and reaching out to it. Having private life, the right to choose what to wear, what to believe, what to eat, and so on are essential parts of regular life for everybody. The long ongoing critical situation in my homeland, Iran, has been the first motivation for my artistic works. The short film is not an exception. My country has been disabled for a long time over huge gaps between different generations.
Between sanctimonious people who rule the country and young non-religious individuals. There is no balance. Falling is our eternal current situation. So “normal” is a keyword for us, a desire that we can always only dream it. In every work I have done so far, the track of this concept is traceable. But in this short film, my point of view is a little different. This time I have tried so hard to be impartial. I interviewed more than 80 students, teachers, and school principals, to be impartial in this subject. After that, I shared the plot with a few sociologists and psychologists. And, then I wrote the first edition of the screenplay. In the shaping characters process, I worked with sociologists and psychologists constantly. I needed to mirror the story realistically, not only in the screenplay but also in all cinematic aspects. I tried to stay loyal to realism. It was a big challenge because I consistently think metaphorically, and my works are predominantly surreal. This film is the resumption of my eternal search for finding a path to reach out to “Normal”. It is not just for myself. It is for my people. Every artist can become their people’s voice and that is my intention. I put much effort into Private to get it close to that goal. It is a unique experience for me.
The festival will run from Thursday, 28th September to Sunday, 1st October 2023, in central London and will feature five jam-packed screenings at the iconic Prince Charles Cinema in Leicester Square. Screenings are followed by networking events/drinks receptions including the opening party at the famous House of St Barnabas and the red-carpet awards ceremony at Proud Embankment. A major supporting partner of the festival is Craghoppers, the global clothing brand, which awards The Craghoppers Film Prize, one of the largest cash prizes for short films. The prize is awarded annually, with awards winners selected from winners of the Discover Film Awards by a panel of 80 independent industry judges. The first prize is £12,000 in cash (for the best film from any genre) with a second prize of £6,000 awarded at the closing ceremony of the festival. There are awards of £4,000 for the best social impact film, £4,000 for the best documentary, and £1,000 each for the best UK and international student short films (any genre). In addition, there are various in-kind awards from sponsors.
