‘Coexist’ screened at Guangzhou filmfest

Iranian short film ‘Coexist’ has been screened at the Guangzhou International Documentary Film Festival (GZDOC) in China.

The 2021 edition of the Chinese event hosted the film directed by Komeil Soheili.

The film is about a blind captain living on Hormuz Island in south of Iran.

As the tensions increase, he starts making some traditional bread using three unexpected elements from the island.

He fishes by his one of a kind ability to hear the sound of fish in the ocean.

Then, he collects the island’s natural salt and its eating soil to make the bread.

‘Coexist’ has already participated in a number of global events, including the Terres Travel Festival-Films and Creativity in Spain and the International Disability Film Festival “Breaking Down Barriers” in Russia.

Held since 1998, the GIFF is annually held during the final week of July in San Miguel de Allende and Guanajuato City, Mexico. It was formerly known as Expresión en Corto International Film Festival.

The 2021 edition of the event was held on December 17-26, 2021.
