This year’s Edinburgh International Film Festival (EIFF) will close with the UK premiere of British Iranian filmmaker Babak Jalali’s well-received Sundance pic Fremont.
Starring former TV journalist and real-life refugee Anaita Wali Zada, Fremont centers on mid-20s Afghan refugee Donya (Zada), whose complicated feelings about her prior work as a translator for the U.S.
military have left her troubled and unable to sleep. Drifting through her uninspired routine in Fremont, California, which comprises her work at a fortune cookie factory and her lonely dinners at a local restaurant, Donya struggles to connect with the culture and people of her new, unfamiliar surroundings.
That is until an unexpected revelation prompts Donya to use her cookies to build a bridge to the outside world. Gregg Turkington and Jeremy Allen White also star in the pic, which Marjaneh Moghimi, Sudnya Shroff, Rachael Fung, George Rush, Chris Martin, and Laura Wagner produced.
