‘Feast of Goat’ to vie at French fest

The Meme Pas Peur Film Festival in France has been slated to show Iranian short flick ‘The Feast of the Goat’.

Written and directed by Saeed Zamanian, the short flick will be screened on February 18 as one of the competition titles at the 11th edition of the French fest.

‘The Feast of the Goat’ narrates the story of a city boy who makes friends with a goat out of loneliness.

Once the goat is killed during a votive ritual, the boy cannot let go of the animal.

A tagline for the flick reads, “Children never forget anything”.

Toumaj Danesh-Behzadi, Sepideh Dastineh, and Yazdan Kokabi-Saba comprise the cast of the film.

The short title has so far participated in a number of international film events and succeeded to win awards, including a Special Mention at the 18th Dhaka International Film Festival in Bangladesh.

Established in 2010, the Meme Pas Peur is dedicated to films that go against the rules of convention.

This year’s edition of the event is set to be held on February 17-20.
