The Corona Cork Film Festival

56th festival 6–13 November 2011

• Flamingo No. 13 (Flamingo Shomare 13)

  Tue 08 Nov | 4:00pm | Cork Opera House

  

  Hamid Reza Aligholian

  Iran | 2010 | 82mins | Beta | Colour

  In a community of exiles located in a remote area of Iran, Soliman spends his days hunting flamingo. While frowned upon by the authorities, the brooding hunter will not be deterred, and even his marriage to the village beauty Tamay does little to deflect him from his restless quest. When Soliman apparently disappears, Tamay believes he will return, but jealous rival Davood seizes his chance to take what he believes is rightfully his. Making full use of the majestic snow covered landscape, Flamingo No. 13 has a stark mythic power and can be viewed as an allegory on the role of the artist in an unforgiving climate.
