Directed by Sonia Haddad, the 15-minute flick will be in competition at the Extralarge section of the 15th edition of the Italian event.

‘Exam’ narrates the story of a girl named Sadaf who has forebodings for the exam she is going to take. But today, instead of going to school she must deliver a package of illegal drugs to a client and gets caught in a weird cycle of events.

While Sadaf Asgari, Masih Kazemi, Elaheh Afshari are on the cast list of the flick, ifilm star of ‘Zaferani’ series Hadis Miramini plays a part in it.

The Sundance Film Festival and the AFI Fest, both in the US, have been two of the international film events that have already screened and awarded the Iranian short title.

Established in 2005, the Dieciminuti Film Festival claims to work like a school which brings together the young and talented to approach the cinema of the world.

The upcoming edition of the event which was originally slated for March 17-21, 2020, is now re-scheduled for June 8-13. The event has been postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.
