Guangzhou fest to host ‘A Horse Has More Blood than a Human’

Iranian documentary ‘A Horse Has More Blood than a Human’ has been selected to compete at the 17th edition of the Guangzhou International Documentary Film Festival (GZDOC) in China.

Directed by Abolfazl Talouni, the documentary depicts an old couple who leave Tehran for their hometown located close to Iran-Turkey border.

Azadi, the cinematographer of the project, won the Golden Frog-Grand Prix at the 28th EnergaCAMERIMAGE International Film Festival in Poland.
