‘This Side, Other Side’ to appear at Greek fest

Iranian animation ‘This Side, Other Side’ is set to make an appearance at the 61st Thessaloniki International Film Festival (TIFF) in Greece.  

Lida Fazli’s movie will vie at the TIFF 2020, which is one of the oldest film festivals in Southeast Europe and is also ranked as the most important film event in Greece.

‘This Side, Other Side’ is made to convey the message that no border can limit friendship and love. It 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. However, the kids continue to play with each other while the adults are fighting.

Just very recently, the animation won the UNICEF Award from the 30th Festival Biennial of Animation Bratislava (BAB) in Slovakia.

The Thessaloniki International Film Festival is a celebration of global independent cinema, which screens the best films from all over the world.

The upcoming TIFF will take place on November 5-15, 2020.
