Italy festival to screen ‘Bahman’

Iranian short film ‘Bahman’ is set to take part in the 2020 “Living together Again” edition of the Venice Architecture Short Film Festival in Italy.

Directed by Seyed Morteza Sabzeqaba, the film is about Bahman, a movie theater in Iran.

“The cinema is cinema just when light, color, music, sound and image come to life on its white screen. When the screen is empty of images, the cinema is inanimate.

Now, for years, no moving image has danced on its white screen. Bahman cinema, alone and ruined, has died in silence, in a corner of the city,” reads a synopsis for the film.

The Venice Architecture Short Film Festival is an annual event that features titles on architecture.

The upcoming edition of the Italian festival will take part on September 1-5.
