Australia has selected the Australia/Afghanistan co-production When Pomegranates Howl as the official submission for the Best International Feature Film at the 94th Academy Awards to be held in 2022. This adds to increasing awards conversation around a quiet child-centric film that feels especially relevant as the world fears for the people of Afghanistan.
When Pomegranates Howl is the second feature film written and directed by Iranian-Australian filmmaker Granaz Moussavi, who made My Tehran for Sale in 2009.
