'Good Girl' competing at Women Filmmakers fest

Iranian short flick 'Good Girl' is vying at the International Women Filmmakers Festival in Turkey.

Written and directed by Raheleh Karami and produced by Mani Qandi, the film is representing Iran at the 5th edition of the event.

“‘Good Girl’ is not an ordinary short film. It is a short narrative of subdued and unspoken hatreds; silence and breaking from within...,” a synopsis of the film reads.

Behzad Khalaj, Shaqayeq Faryad-Shiran and Mobina Azadi make the main cast team of the short flick.

'Good Girl' has already gone on screen at some global film events, including the Ischia Global Film & Music Fest in Italy, the Earl's Court Film Festival in the UK, and the Linz International Short Film Festival of Austria.

The 14-minute flick is also the recipient of the special award at the 28th Sguardi Altrove International Women's Film Festival in Italy.

The festival aims to make female film directors and their movies “recognizable” by bringing female filmmakers and other female cinema industry workers together, according to an online submission platform.

It “also aims to support and encourage creative women by creating new networks & perspectives, finding possible funds, and making space for the new coming filmmakers’ generation”.

The 5th International Women Filmmakers Festival is underway from February 27 and run until March 8.
