"Holy Spider" by Iranian-Swedish cinematographer Ali Abbasi is another film in the competition section of the festival that can raise the name of Iran on its public screening day. The film, starring Zahra Amir Ebrahimi, Sara Fazilat, Mehdi Bejestani, and Arash Ashtiani, was shot outside of Iran and tells the story of Saeed Hanalei, the serial killer of street women in Mashhad. Ali Abbasi, who has been considered an emerging talent in cinema after appearing at the Cannes Film Festival with his film "Border", had previously been nominated for an Oscar in the face painting category and is now expected to shine in the world with his film "Holy Spider".
