Iran short film 'The Fox' to vie in Portugal

Iran short film 'The Fox' has been scheduled to compete at 2018 CINANIMA International Animated Film Festival in Portugal.

Directed by Sadeq Javadi, the short flick will be screened at the international competition section of the event. It will be in competition with 43 works from different countries around the world such as France, Russia, Brazil, Portugal and Canada.

‘The Fox’ is about a young and lively fox that is caught by a hunter when experiencing its first love.

The hunter puts a bell around the fox’s neck and returns it to the woods. The bell prevents the fox from hunting and living its normal life in the woods and it soon realizes that its only way to survive is to be tamed and go back to the hunter.

The film has already attended several international film events and has won awards including the Best Short Film award from the 7th edition of Cebu International Film Festival in the Philippines.

Since 1976, CINANIMA International Animated Film Festival has been committed to educating professionals and the general public.

The 42nd edition of the festival is slated for November 12-18, 2018 in the Portuguese city of Espinho.
