TEHRAN-- Four shorts by Iranian filmmakers will compete in the 35th Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, which will take place from January 27 to February 4 in the central French city.
Aban , a co-production in between Iran and France by Abbas Taheri and Mahdieh Tusi, and 48 Hours by Azadeh Musavi have actually been selected to be evaluated in the fiction movie category.
Aban tells the story of Nazanin who tries to turn their 9-year-old child, Aban, away from a very driven feminine taste under constant pressure from her ex-husband.
Today, Aban goes to the medical facility wishing to go through life-altering surgical treatment.
48 Hours follows Nader who is provided a furlough to go house after three years in prison.
He has 48 hours to become a daddy to his four-year-old daughter.
Subtotals , a speculative documentary co-produced by Iran, Poland and Germany, and the animated film Our Photo Memento will also be screened.Directed by Mohammadreza Farzad, Subtotals is a poetic essay meticulously built from clips of Iranian 8mm home videos from bygone days.
As we enjoy birthdays and wedding celebrations, individuals dancing, laughing, swimming or just relaxing, a storyteller, in a reflective, in some cases heavy voice, enumerates series of dry facts.The film was inspired by the eponymous narrative by Gregory Burnham and Édouard Levés unique, Autoportrait .
Our Photo Memento directed by Samaneh Lashgari showcases the photos of a dead couple, which are installed on a wall.
The old lady comes to life and notices that her husband is in the image beside hers.
They attempt to reunite.This years celebration will unite the worlds of filmmakers of all stripes in the choices of 70 programs.
In between the competitions and retrospectives, there are 400 hundred movies from fifty countries that offer a formidable dive into a revitalizing swimming pool of young cinematic talent.The celebration started in 1979 as part of a trainee movie club organized by Clermont-Ferrand University.
