Aussie festival to host ‘Son of the Sea’

The 68th edition of the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) in Australia has set to feature Iran’s ‘Son of the Sea’.

Directed by Abbas Jalali-Yekta, ‘Son of the Sea’ will be screened at the event next month.

“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 awarded at the 2019 edition of the Annecy International Animated Film Festival in France.

The MIFF is a leading film festival in Australia and one of the world’s oldest film festivals, alongside Cannes and Berlin.

The 68th edition of the MIFF will take place on August 1-18, 2019.
