‘The Rotation’ participating at Poppy Jasper

Iranian animated short film ‘The Rotation’ is participating at the 15th Poppy Jasper International Film Festival (PJIFF) in the US.

Hazhir Asadi’s 'The Rotation’ will be screened next week at the event which is currently underway in the US.

The film is about two tribes who are engaged in a war due to a dispute over the possession of the sun in the sky.

The war led to the destruction of the sun and the eruption of a volcano.

The lava left members of the two tribes dead and formed a new sun.

“Several centuries pass and the humans are still in a war to claim the sun in the sky,” a synopsis for the film reads.

Earlier reports said ‘Before Darkness’ by Mosayyeb Hanaee is also participating at the PJIFF.

The PJIFF promotes “inclusion, diversity, and women empowerment”; educates people of all ages about filmmaking; and encourages everyone to “find their voice through film”, an online submission platform reads.

The 15th edition of the festival opened on Wednesday and will run until April 13.
