Nominated for Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor (Payman Maadi and Navid Mohammadzadeh), and Best Screenplay at the Fajr International Film Festival.

The film's director, Saeed Roustayi, also directed the critically acclaimed 'Leila's Brothers' and 'Just 6.5' (which is often mistakenly conflated with 'Border Camera' due to similar themes and cast members). 'Just 6.5' is the actual title of the 2019 Iranian film starring Payman Maadi and Navid Mohammadzadeh, focusing on drug trafficking. 'Border Camera' does not appear to be a widely recognized film title or may be an alternate title or a misremembered title for 'Just 6.5'.
