Sajjad Shah-Hatami’s latest directorial experience will vie at the 55th edition of Humboldt International Film Festival in the US.
The score music of the short is composed by young Iranian maestro Mehrzad Khajehamiri, accompanied with the US Maryland Symphony Orchestra.
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.
‘Identibye’ participated in a number of global events and some won awards, including the best screenplay at the Inter University International Film Festival in Bangladesh, a special mention at the Accolade Global Film Competition in the US, the best short film award at the Jozi Film Festival in South Africa, and the Craig Childs Award at the Ridgway Independent Film Fest in the US.
The Humboldt International Film Festival is the oldest student-run film festival in the world. It has been bringing independent and alternative short films together for several years.
The 2022 edition of the festival has been slated for April 18-25.
