Iran short film to vie in Japan

‘Are You Volleyball?!’ directed by Mohammad Bakhshi, is slated to be screened at the Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia in Japan.

Produced by Nima Rabiei, the short film is slated to be screened at the 2018 edition of the Japanese festival.

The film features a group of Arabic-spoken asylum seekers who arrive in an English spoken country border and cannot keep going.

They conflict with border soldiers every day till a deaf-mute baby becomes a catalyst for better communication between the two sides.

The film has earlier won a Guirlande of Honor award in the movies category of the 35th Sport Movies & TV Festival in Milan, Italy.

It has also won Best Short Film award at the Al-Nahj International Film Festival in Iraq.

The international Short Shorts Film Festival & Asia started as the American Short Film Festival in 1999.

The event is scheduled to be launched in June, 2018 in Japan.
