Film(s) To Be Screened
Earth is Home
Coronavirus has spread around the world until the period of global quarantine that allowed people around the world to stay at home and then go back in time to 1920 about the forgotten Spanish flu whose victims were most affected by COVID-19. In the end, we learned that the coronavirus has no limits in our world. Earth is becoming more polluted, and we need to protect it because Earth is our Home.
Goodbye Earth
This animation is about an old painter and nature lover who lives on a remote island witnessing the damage that humans are doing to the planet.
Permission Ms., Present
Education is one of the most important rights for any child, and it’s one of the best preventers of mental health decline. This is even more true under the current pandemic circumstances.
White Clad
The film shows an old woman who brings some goat’s milk cheese to Ahmad, a ten-year-old boy, so that he can give it to his father, who is a teacher, as a gift to urge him to intervene and stop the hanging of the woman’s son.
Tehran Recyclers
“Tehran Recyclers” portrays the diverse cultural, social and urban fabrics of this metropolis by means of experimental animation. In the urban hideouts of this city little creatures come to life. These are digitally composed with collected waste from the streets and typical local products. The clatter of the limbs of these creatures interacts with the soundscapes of Tehran.
Capriccio
A pianist immerses into a musical world and embarks on a surrealistic journey between strings and keys, memories and phantasies, dream dance and reality.
Pygmalion Infection
The animated dance drama Pygmalion Infection corresponds to the latest trends in contemporary dance, and animation that explores human behavior in its interaction with robot dolls, Internet addiction known as “digital heroin,” and violence against women. The plot is built as a fantastic love drama between the main character Pygmalion and an android doll. One of the most all-consuming problems of our world, namely loneliness, is being studied.

Affected by the weather change in town and the flood news in another cold city, Ezzat decides to buy gloves from Robab as a charity to support the flood victims despite his unique situation…
A Goodbye
The story of a boy with his best friend who is a fish, but an allegorical fish is something else.
The Sign
A van driver carrying a shrine on the way to the village is asked to help a family with their wedding ceremony. That’s when he decides to leave the shrine behind.
