Iran short wins at Indian fest

Iranian short film ‘Tide’ has received an award at the Jaipur International Film Festival (JIFF) in India.

The 14th edition of the event bestowed its Special Jury Mention Award to Pedram Mehrkhah for his short film ‘Tide’.

The film is the story of two strangers who spend a night in each other’s company on the beach.

A brief synopsis for the flick reads, “on his way home, Amirali sees a familiar girl. The girl, however, does not remember him. Over this misunderstanding, they stay together a night on the beach. He wakes up at sunshine but the girl has vanished into thin air”.

Nima Zeyn-al-Abedini and Sahar Roustaee are the cast members of the short film.

The JIFF, the world's fastest-growing film festival, is held annually in January or February in Jaipur, India.

The 14th edition of the JIFF was held on January 7-11, 2022, with Iranian filmmaker, Hassan Najmabadi, being among its jury members.
