Iran’s ‘Eaten’ to vie in Netherlands

Iranian short animation ‘Eaten’ has been selected to compete at the 2020 edition of the Fluxus Animation Film Festival (FAFF) in the Netherlands.

Directed by Mohsen Rezapour, in a mysterious unknown planet of ‘Eaten’, a rabbit-like creature is eaten; but that's not the end of the story.

A brief synopsis for the 7-minute animation reads, “A rabbit has been eaten by a wolf and it meets another rabbit, in the predator’s stomach, which had been eaten by the wolf earlier. Now the two go on living in the new environment and the story goes on”.

Rezapour said although his animation is a fantasy production, it is not intended for the kids; due to the fact that the things that happen on the show are a bit harsh, targeting the adults.

‘Eaten’ has so far taken part at a number of global events, including the 23rd Seoul International Cartoon and Animation Festival in South Korea, the 15th Dieciminuti Film Festival in Italy, and the 2020 Stuttgart International Festival of Animated Film in Germany.

The FAFF is a one-day event that includes multiple screenings for both children and adults. The audience will choose the best film by voting.

This edition of the festival is scheduled to take place on October 31.
