Interesting facts

Abadan is a 2003 drama film by the Iranian filmmaker Mani Haghighi. It was his first feature film after making a few short films. Since the film was not pre-approved by Iran's Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance and because it included profanity and spoken references to extramarital relations, producers bypassed the 2003 Fajr International Film Festival in Tehran, having the film's world premiere in Chicago at the 2003 Festival of Films from Iran instead. It was also shown at the 2004 Tribeca Film Festival.
