CANNES 2018 Un Certain Regard Ali Abbasi • Director
by Jan Lumholdt, Cineuropa 11/05/2018
“We have taken liberties but have also been true to the core of the story”
CANNES 2018: We talked to Tehran-born director Ali Abbasi about his sophomore effort, Border, based on a short story by John Ajvide Lindqvist and screening in Un Certain Regard.
Tehran-born director Ali Abbasi has covered plenty of ground during his first 37 years on the planet. In Iran, he worked with assorted publishers and magazines, specialising in short-story writing.

He studied at the Tehran Polytechnic University until 2002, when he travelled to Europe, settled in Stockholm and graduated with a BA in Architecture in 2007. He then applied to and was accepted at the National Film School of Denmark, where he graduated in 2011.
His feature debut, Shelley, premiered in the Panorama section of the 2016 Berlinale, and his sophomore feature-length effort has been entered into this year’s Un Certain Regard selection at Cannes.
Border, based on a short story by John Ajvide Lindqvist (Let the Right One In), is a strange tale of strange outsiders, seemingly walking among us humans, but very much unlike us in several respects.
