Slovakia to host Iranian animation

Iranian ‘This Side, Other Side’ has been selected to participate at the biennial International Film Festival Bratislava in Slovakia.

Directed by Lida Fazli, the animation shows some kids from the two sides of a borderline that make friends and play games with one another.

This amity between the kids enrages the adults and triggers them to start a war.

According to an ifilm exclusive talk with the director, she has made the short to convey the message that no border can limit friendship and love.

The Animage International film festival in Brazil, the Smile International Film Festival for Children & Youth in India, the IFVA Awards in China and the Termeh Iranian Cultural Festival in Germany are some of the international events that the short has already attended.

Established in 1999, Bratislava has three sections including the Competition of First and Second Feature Films, the Competition of First and Second Documentary Films, and The Competition of Short Films.

The festival aims to recognize young artists who are on their way to becoming future stars.

Bratislava film festival will be held on October 5-10, 2020.
