Bulgaria to host Iran’s film

Iranian short film ‘Identibye’ has been selected to take part in the upcoming edition of the Early Bird International Student Film Festival in Bulgaria.

Directed by Sajjad Shahatami, the short flick will be among the competition titles of the event’s 17th edition.

The film’s main character faces a dilemma regarding one’s innermost feelings. He must choose between sense and sensibility. The ones closest to him have always judged him and these never-ending judgments fear him and make him doubt. He now has to work fast to achieve his goal; because, he knows that one’s true identity is what matters most to them.

Amir-Hossein Sabaghian, Nasim Moslemi, Maryam Najafi, Samar Barazandeh, Hanan Azizi are the cast members of ‘Identibye’.

The flick has already participated in a number of global events and won awards, including the best screenplay at the Inter University International Film Festival in Bangladesh and a special mention at the Accolade Global Film Competition in the US.

Launched in 2005, the Early Bird International Student Film Festival is the biggest Bulgarian forum dedicated to support the creation of student short films.

The festival is fully devoted to help young filmmakers to reach their audience. 

The 16th edition of the film festival is slated to be held online due to the pandemic on November 1-5, 2019.
