Iran animation to vie at Czech festival

Iranian animation ‘Entr'acte’ is to be screened at Anifilm, International Festival of Animated Films in the Czech Republic.

Kheradmandan’s short animation ‘Entr'acte’ is a narrative inspired by an Israeli sniper’s message posted on Instagram saying that he slaughtered 13 Palestinian children in a day during the 2014 Israel assault on the Gaza Strip.

Entr’acte is a French word meaning ‘between the acts.’ The animation itself is a narrative happening in an interval between two musical pieces.

Anifilm’s mission is to present current trends, methods, technologies and animation techniques in its program, the official website of the festival wrote.

It also supports works in progress and brand new animation projects and their authors, producers and distributors.

Film professionals from all over the world can use Anifilm as a platform for positive confrontation and meeting place for forging new contacts.

The festival is scheduled to be held on May 2-7, 2017 in the city of Třeboň, Czech Republic.
