Iranian short film ‘Haunt’ is slated to vie at the Taos Shortz Film Fest in the US.

Siamak Kashef-Azar’s directorial experience is to represent Iran at the 2021 edition of the event alongside 11 other Iranian films.

‘Haunt’, made in 2019, is a 17-minute short film about a gambling addict named Reza. Without even knowing it, Reza loses something important during a game. When he comes back home, he looks for a way to escape.
