Iran’s ‘Carnivore’ to vie in Busan

Iranian short flick ‘Carnivore’ has been shortlisted for the competition at the 38th Busan International Short Film Festival (BISFF) in South Korea.

Directed by Amir-Hossein Mohseni, the short flick will vie along with 39 other titles at the International Competition section of the BISFF.

The film is about a man who encounters a drowned person in the marshlands.

He sends the corpse to the water’s depth, and comes the next day to recover the body as a rescue diver. He later receives a reward for his work.

‘Carnivore’ is starring Mehrdad Bakhshi.

The BISFF has been launched in 1980 as the Korean Short Film Festival. It was the first short film festival to appear in Korea.

The festival aims to discover and introduce outstanding short films from around the world.

The 38th edition of the BISFF will take place on April 21-26, 2021.
