The film producer and screenwriter Fereshte Taerpour is slated to attend the opening ceremony that will be held at India International Centre (IIC) in the capital city of New Delhi.
The movie is also to be screened simultaneously at an international film festival in London.
Directed by Negar Azarbaijani, Facing Mirrors weaves together the lives of two women with different social and cultural backgrounds.
Azarbaijani's first directorial debut has been lauded at many international festivals as the film garnered numerous awards.
The film won the prize at the 2nd edition of Iranian Film Festival Australia held in five cities of Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney on October, 2012. One of the Australian festival directors, Anne Démy-Geroe, dedicated the award during a ceremony recently held in Tehran.
Azarbaijani's well-praised movie was also hailed at the 8th edition of Syracuse International Film Festival held in the United States.
The movie won the Best Feature-length movie Award at the 2012 San Francisco International LGBT Film Festival as well as the Best Narrative Feature Award at the 2012 International Three Dollar Bill Cinema in Seattle.
The film was also well received by both Iranian and Canadian audiences at the 2011 edition of Montreal's World Film Festival and therefore the authorities decided to schedule an extra screening at the event.
The 2013 IAWRT Asian Women's Film Festival is scheduled to take place from March 5 through 7.
