German fest to screen Iran’s ‘The Visit’

The 2020 edition of the Exground Film Festival in Germany has been set to screen Iranian short ‘The Visit’.

Directed by Azadeh Mousavi, the 14-minute film is about Elaheh who is allowed to visit her husband, a prisoner, after six months.

She and her little daughter, Tara, have one single day to get ready for the significant meeting.

The film has gone on screen at some notable global events, including the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival in France, the Palm Springs International Film Festival in the US, the Seoul International Women's Film Festival in South Korea, and the Figari Film Fest in Italy.

It is also scheduled to go on screen at the 21st Friss Hús Budapest Short Film Festival in Hungary in 2021.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 edition of the Exground Film Festival is scheduled to go hybrid. So the viewers can attend the festival or watch the films from their homes.

The festival aims to provide a space for the audience and cineastes to meet. This year, it will present more than 120 productions.

The 33rd edition of the event will be held on November 13-22, 2020.
