Indian fest hosting Iranian ‘The Castle’

Iranian short flick ‘The Castle’ has been competing at the first edition of the Kashi Indian International Film Festival Awards (KIIFFA).

Written and directed by Saba Qasemi, a brief synopsis of ‘The Castle’ reads, “Some castles are made of bricks, some are made out of books, but all castles stand by memories”.

Sajjad Tabesh, Sima Sheybani, Mahdokht Molaee, Emad Emami, Armin Sayyad, and Ali Nasir are among the cast members of the short film.

The short flick has previously gone on screen at several film festivals, including the 16th Angel Film Awards-Monaco International Film Festival and the 1st annual Arizona International Short Film Festival, both in the US.

The KIIFFA aims to promote and support global cinema development. It provides an opportunity for filmmakers, film enthusiasts, distributers and all the people active in the cinema industry to meet, connect and exchange experience.

The 2021 edition of the event started on April 2 and today, April 4 is the last day of the festival.
