US awards Iran short

Iranian short film ‘Identiby’ has grabbed award at the Ridgway Independent Film Fest in the US.

Directed by Sajjad Shah-Hatami, the short film won the Craig Childs Award at the 2021 edition of the American event.

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 Sabbaghan, Nasim Moslemi, Maryam Najafi, Samar Barazandeh, and Hanan Azizi are the cast members of the flick.

The short has already participated in a number of global events and won some 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.

The score of ‘Identiby’ is composed by Mehrzad Khajehamiri.

The Ridgway Independent Film Fest showcases the work and creativity of regional and global independent filmmakers.

The film festival highlights creative, engaging & thought-provoking short films in many genres.

This year’s edition of the event was held on November 12-13.
