France awards Iran’s ‘Son of the Sea’

Iran’s ‘Son of the Sea’ has grabbed an award at the 2019 edition of the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in France.

‘Son of the Sea’, directed by Abbas Jalali-Yekta, won the City of Annecy Award at the gala.

“A man lives in a house with his wife and the illusion of their son on the wall! This hallucination gradually creates complications in their life,” a synopsis for the film reads.

‘Son of the Sea’ was screened at the “Perspectives Short Films in Competition” section of the French festival.

Iranian films ‘Am I a Wolf?’, ‘Trailer’, and ‘Starvation’ also competed at the event.

The Annecy International Animated Film Festival was held in France’s southeastern city of Annecy on June 10-15, 2019.
