Route 66 filmfest showing Iran’s ‘Identibye’

Iranian short flick ‘Identibye’ has been set to go on the screen at the Route 66 American Short Film Festival in the US.

Directed by Sajjad Shah-Hatami, the short film is among the screening titles at the 20th edition of the US event.

The film’s main character faces a dilemma regarding one’s innermost feelings. He must choose between sense and sensibility.

The ones closest to him have always judged him and these never-ending judgments fear him and make him doubt.

He now has to work fast to achieve his goal; because, he knows that one’s true identity is what matters most to them.

Amir-Hossein Sabbaghan, Nasim Moslemi, Maryam Najafi, Samar Barazandeh, and Hanan Azizi are the cast members of the flick.

The flick has already participated in a number of global events and won some awards, including the best screenplay at the Inter University International Film Festival in Bangladesh and a special mention at the Accolade Global Film Competition in the US.

The Route 66 Film Festival is an annual film festival that this year kicked off on November 5 and will run until November 15.

The festival is located in Springfield, Illinois, and first began in November 2002.
