Iranian ‘The Rotation’ to compete at Animatiba film festival

Iranian animation ‘The Rotation’ has been selected to compete at the 2021 Animatiba- International Animation Festival in Brazil.

Directed and produced by Hazhir Asadi, the 7-minute animation shows two tribes that engage in a tug-of-war to possess the sun and moon.

Neither side can defeat the other. Their conflict wreaks havoc on the earth’s climate.

An eventual ceasefire brings temporary stability and harmony until unexpected events renew the cycle of conflict and destruction.

It is a film about the futility of war and the folly of human efforts to dominate nature.

The short animation has so far gone on screen at a number of global events, including the Animasyros Festival in Greece and the Girona Film Festival in Spain.

According to the official website of the Brazilian festival, “our mission is to reunite animation's artists, researchers and fans at this event that reframes the past, glimpses the future and animates the present!”

The upcoming edition of the Animatiba film festival is to be held on September 1-15, 2021.
