Iran’s ‘Roya’ to take part in Ca' Foscari

Iranian short flick ‘Roya’ has made its way to the Ca' Foscari Short Film Festival in Italy.

The Iranian Youth Cinema Society reported that ‘Roya’ will take part in the 13th edition of the Italian event.

‘Roya’, directed by Mohammad-Reza Mohammadi, is about a young Afghan couple who tries to illegally enter Europe, but faces various challenges.

‘Roya’ was awarded at several festivals, including the Five Continents International Film Festival in Venezuela.

The Ca' Foscari Short Film Festival is “the first European film festival managed by university students under the guidance of a staff of professors in film studies and professionals from the world of cinema”, an online submission platform reads.

The upcoming edition of the Ca’ Foscari Short Film Festival will take place on March 22-25.
