Italy awards two Iran films

'Not Yet' and 'Retouch' have won awards at the SorsiCorti Short Film Festival in Italy.

Directed by Kaveh Mazaheri, 'Retouch' won the award for best film while Arian Vazir-Daftari's 'Not Yet' grabbed the best directing award.

The 15-minute 'Not Yet' is about Hasti, who has just turned 21. She studies abroad and her parents in Iran want to congratulate her online.

Despite the distractions of her life abroad, Hasti longs for her old home in Iran. Meanwhile, her parents are intent on concealing their crumbling marriage.

‘Retouch’ is about a young woman whose husband dies before her eyes and she just observes the tragic scene.

SorsiCorti is a Short Film Festival that combines conviviality and interest in the art of the short film.

Launched in 2010, the festival is aimed at giving visibility to the work of filmmakers from all over the world and offering a careful selection of quality short films to the audience.

The 12th edition of the event is currently underway from May 20-29.
