US festival to screen Iran’s ‘The Hands’

The Newark International Film Festival in the US has set to screen Iranian short flick ‘The Hands’.

The Iranian Youth Cinema Society reported on Wednesday that Parviz Rajaee's ‘The Hands’ will be screened at the 5th edition of the US event later this month.

‘The Hands’ is about determinism and free will.

“Some are still waiting to be formed by a hand, while the rest are trying to form others,” a synopsis for the film reads.

‘The Hands’ received the best short film award at the winter season (January-March) of the World Premiere Film Awards in the US.

The 5th edition of the Newark International Film Festival will take place on September 9-13.
