The Vanishing Point by Iranian director Bani Khoshnoudi won the Burning Lights competition, as the organisers announced on Friday evening. The film breaks the family silence about a cousin who disappeared and was executed by the Iranian regime during the 1988 purges.
The winning film in the national competition, Les Vies d’Andrès, depicts the everyday lives of four long-distance lorry drivers in a spiral of performance and logistical constraints. The film interweaves their reality with a novel about a lorry driver from the last century. The Audience Award went to Cutting Through Rocks by Sara Khaki and Mohammadreza Eyni.

How we work
We select the most relevant news for an international audience and use automatic translation tools such as DeepL to translate them into English. An editor then briefly reviews the translation for clarity and accuracy before publication. Providing you with automatically translated news gives us the time to write more in-depth articles. The news stories we select have been written and carefully fact-checked by an external editorial team from news agencies such as Bloomberg or Keystone.
