India fest to host 'Gray Umbrella'

Iranian short film 'Gray Umbrella' has been scheduled to go on screen at the 4th edition of the Alpavirama Asian Short and Documentary Film Festival in India.

Directed by Mohmmad Poustindouz, the flick is to represent Iran at the screening program of the Indian film event.

Based on a loose adaptation of a short story by Argentinean writer Fernando Sorrentino, titled ‘There's a Man in the Habit of Hitting me on the Head with an Umbrella’, ‘Gray Umbrella’ is the story of a man with a bad habit, until a man with an umbrella enters his life.

The Alpavirama Asian Short and Documentary Film Festival is a five-day event organized by the National Institute of Design in Ahmedabad, India.

The 4th edition of the Indian event is to kick off on October 27, 2018.
