Turkish fest awards ‘Coexist’

Iranian documentary ‘Coexist’ has grabbed the Best Documentary Award at the 4th edition of the AMERTA Film Festival in Turkey.

Directed by Komeil Soheili, the 12-minute flick is about a blind captain living on Hormuz Island in south of Iran.

As the tensions increase, he starts making some traditional bread using three unexpected elements from the island.

He fishes by his one of a kind ability to hear the sound of fish in the ocean.

Then, he collects the island’s natural salt and its eating soil to make the bread.

‘Coexist’ has already participated in a number of global events, including the Terres Travel Festival-Films and Creativity in Spain and the International Disability Film Festival “Breaking Down Barriers” in Russia.

The  AMERTA Film Festival hosts short, documentary and feature films from around the world and provides an opportunity for filmmakers to showcase their works.

The event was held on September 20-24, 2021.
