New Delhi: Bengali director Sandip Ray's film After Night Dawn is one of the 13 movies competing at the 24^th Fajr International Film Festival in Tehran.

The film is about human relationships and the shape they assume in certain trying situations.

Son of the legendary filmmaker Satyajit Ray, Sandip's interest in films developed at an early age, and he began his precocious career as a stills' photographer on the sets of his father's films.

After Night Dawn, which has already received critical acclaim at the Osian's Cinefan Asian Film Festival, will be screened in the Asia competition section.

The other foreign films in the Asia section include The Brotherhood of War by Je-gyu Kang, Daddy Long Legs by Gong Jeong-shik from South Korea, Of Love and Eggs by Garin Nugroho from Indonesia and Hiner Saleem's Kilometer Zero - a joint production of Iraq, Finland and France.

There's also Shanghai Dreams directed by Wang Xiaoshuai from China, Perhaps He Is by Nobuhiko Hosaka and The Village Album by Mitsuhiro Mihara from Japan.

The entries at the festival will be judged by an eminent set of people, which includes the managing director of the international department of the Farabi Cinematic Foundation Amir Esfandiari.

Cinematic figures such as Jamal Omid, Manuchehr Shahsavari, Mohsen Hashemi and Majid Shah-Hosseini will also be members of the selection board for the international section.

The best film, director and screenplay of this section will each be awarded a Crystal Simorgh.

The 10-day festival, which is to begin on January 20, will showcase shorts, documentaries, features and retrospectives from across the world.
