‘Funfair’ to compete at Toko filmfest in Italy

Iranian-Canadian short flick ‘Funfair’ is slated to compete at the Toko Film Festival in Italy.

The film directed by Kaveh Mazaheri, will represent Iran at the 2021 edition of the event.

The 15-minute film narrates the story of a young married couple and their 5-year-old kid.

The three of them are grabbling with financial issues that the father of the family has brought upon them.

A brief synopsis for the short reads, “Majid, a financially struggling man, comes up with a ploy in order to better the life of his wife, Sara”.

Toko is a word used in Italy’s southern town of Sala Consilina. It means something is cool, fun and well-done.

The festival aims to create “a dialogue between people from South Campania and the world of cinema, especially the independent and experimental one”.

This year’s edition of the festival is scheduled for July 29 – August 1, 2021.
