Interesting facts

  • Awards: 0 · Nominations: 1

Winners is a 2022 British Persian-language drama film written and directed by Hassan Nazer. The plot follows two children from a small Iranian community who discover the lost Academy Award statuette of Asghar Farhadi. It was selected as the British entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 95th Academy Awards, but was not nominated.

Production

Hassan Nazer had the conceptual idea for the film from a very young age, but it wasn't until Trump's travel ban prevented eventual winner Asghar Farhadi from picking up his Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film for The Salesman in February of 2017.

Winners was financed, developed and post-produced in Scotland and shot on Iranian territory.
