CFIFF honors ‘Are You Volleyball’

Iran short film ‘Are You Volleyball?!’ has succeeded to receive Best Short Film Award from the Changing Face International Film Festival in Australia.

 The award was granted the Iranian short film by the jury members of the Australian film event. ‘Are You Volleyball’ was among the July winners of the monthly held film festival.

‘Are You Volleyball?!’ has won awards such as Best Film Prize from the Al-Nahj Film Festival in Iraq, Best Film and Best Screenplay awards at the 6th Short Film Competition section at the US Forum on Law, Culture & Society, and Best Film at the BCN Sports Film Festival in Spain.

The film features a group of Arabian-spoken asylum seekers who arrive in an English spoken country border and can’t keep going. They conflict with border soldiers every day till a deaf-mute baby becomes a catalyst for better communication between the two groups.

CFIFF aims to encourage diverse content from diverse creators. The event runs film and screenplay competitions monthly. The overall annual winners will be screened at our Awards Night at GU Filmhouse Cronulla, in South Sydney on the 23rd of November 2018.
