Mir-Karimi also won the best director award, and the film’s star, Masud Rayegan, took best actor honors.
Fereshteh Sadr-Orafaii was voted best actress for her performance as a widow struggling to survive in rabidly patriarchal Iran in Café Transit / Border Café.
The awards ceremony was held at Tehran’s Vahdat Hall on September 11.
