‘I Won’t Remain Alone’ to vie at Parnu filmfest

The 2021 Parnu International Documentary Film Festival in Estonia has been slated to host Iranian documentary ‘I Won’t Remain Alone’.

Directed by Yasser Talebi, the film, that took 5 years to produce, will be screened at the main competition of the festival's 28th run.

Being themed on forgiveness, love, humanity and immortality, ‘I Won’t Remain Alone’ follows the story of Sorayya and Seyyed-Jalal, an underprivileged old couple who lives in a distant village in northern Iran.

Previously, the doc has taken part at a number of international film festivals, including the Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia in Japan.

Besides, Talebi, the director of the flick, has already attended many global events with his award-winning doc ‘Beloved’.

Established in 1987, the Parnu International Documentary Film Festival aims to help people’s cultural survival; therefore, the event takes on docs that show human activities in social, historical or ecological contexts.

This year’s edition of the fest is slated for July 12-25.
