‘Malakout’ to screen online in US fest

Iranian animation ‘Malakout’ is slated to vie at the Brooklyn International Film Festival (BFF) in the US.

Directed by Farnouosh Abedi, the 11-minute scary animation will be screened at the 23rd edition of the American event.

The 2020 edition of the festival will be launched online due to cancellation over coronavirus outbreak.

The short animation is about a piano player who tries to bring his wife back to life but the deal awakens the devil inside him.

“Music was his passion… Love was his masterpiece…” a short synopsis for the animation reads.

‘Malakout’ has been screened at a number of global events, including the 12th Crystal Palace International Film Festival in the UK, the 35th Guadalajara International Film Festival in Mexico, the 3rd Saints and Sinners Film Festival in the US, the 7th Galactic Imaginarium Film Festival in Spain, and the 2020 Capital City Film Festival in the US.

The Brooklyn Film Festival (BFF) is an International, competitive festival. BFF's mission is to provide a public forum in Brooklyn in order to advance public interest in films and the independent production of films.

The 23rd edition of the festival is slated for May 29 – June 7, 2020.
