Iran’s ‘Boxman’ named Best Short in Russia

Iranian short film ‘Boxman’ has been awarded at the “Euro Fest” European International Film Festival in Russia.

Manouchehr Teymourzadeh’s film was named Best Short at the 5th edition of the Russian event.

“In search of success, a reporter is making a film about a teenager who lives in a wooden box. At the end, the reporter changes mind about making the film and is drawn to the teenager’s world,” a synopsis for the film reads.

European International Film Festival is held in the heart of St. Petersburg.

The festival aims to “discover the new names and give them a platform for the presentation of their works.”
