Whole to Part to vie in US

The Globe International Silent Film Festival is slated to host Iranian short film ‘Whole to Part’.

The 12-minute short tells the story of the destruction of a dictator's statue that transforms into the form of small objects. However, it prolongs its existence among people.

'Whole to Part' has previously won the best experimental film award at the 34th Tehran International Short Film Festival.

The Best Film Award at the Lucania Film Festival in Italy is the most recent award that 'Whole to Part' brought home.

The debut edition had received incredible reception on the international scale – around 2,200 films were submitted to the festival, the official website of the festival wrote.

According to the fest's official site, some Iranian artists such as director Kambuzia Partovi sit on the jury in the latest edition of the fest.

Silent films refer to films without dialogue or narration and recount their stories through the language of imagery, just as a painting.

The 1st Globe International Silent Film Festival was held in April 2016 with the hosting of the Art University of Tehran.
