Iran’s short ‘Pass’ to vie in Italy

The Salerno International Film Festival in Italy has been scheduled to host Iranian short flick ‘Pass’.

Elika Abdollahi’s short film will join the competition at the 74th edition of the Italian event.

‘Pass’, aiming to reduce social harms, is about two friends who get stuck in a weird situation due to an accident.

The cast list of the film includes Aziz Nemati, Somayyeh Rahimi, Shadab Kokabi, Arsam Hossein-Panahi, Niha Sheikhi, and Souran Rezvanizadeh.

The 11-minute flick, Abdollahi’s directorial debut, has already been screened at a number of film events, including the Asoric Film Festival and the Tassvir Film Festival in Iran, as well as the Concordia Film Festival in Canada.

The Salerno International Film Festival will also receive ‘Metamorphosis in the Slaughterhouse’ by Javad Daraee and ‘Malakout’ by Farnoush Abedi.

The 2020 edition of the fest is slated for December 7-12.
