Chinese and Iranian filmmakers reached an agreement on Monday to co-produce a martial arts film on the sidelines* of the 33rd Fajr International Film Festival.

    The film is tentatively* named “The Way to Shaolin.”

    The film tells the story of an Iranian kung fu fan who undergoes much hardship to become a kung fu master and then embarks upon a pilgrimage to Shaolin Temple, the birthplace of kung fu in central China’s Henan Province.

    The film will be shot in both Iran and China with actors and crew from both countries.

    The Fajr International Film Festival is an annual event sponsored by the Iranian Government to mark the 1979 Islamic Revolution.(SD-Agencies)
