Iranian short film to vie in Vienna

Iranian short title ‘Don’t Touch Anything’ has been selected to compete at the 17th Vienna Shorts Film Festival in Austria.

Written and directed by Arghavan Heydari, the short title narrates the story of a woman with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) who is hosting some guests.

OCD centers on themes such as fear of germs or the need to arrange objects in a specific manner.

The cast of the film includes Marjan Sadeqi, Anaram Moazzami, Farnaz Khakzad, Roham Aliheydari, Sara Mohammadi, Helia Samadi and Rozhan Frizhendi.

The Vienna Shorts festival showcases the short films up to 30 minutes in length.

The festival decided to screen the shorts online due to the coronavirus concerns.

Further information about the date and programs of the festival will be available on its website soon.
