Iranian short ‘My Father’ vying at Cefalù filmfest

Iranian short flick ‘My Father’ has been competing at the 2021 edition of the Cefalù Film Festival in Italy.

It goes beyond race, country and border and presents a deeper humanistic narration.

The festival awards the best film one thousand Euros. Other awards are the special jury prize, the best director award, the best actress and best actor awards, the best foreign short film, the best animated short film, the best script, and the best music.
