‘Slight Pain’ to head to Asterisk Film Klubb

Iranian director Pouya Nabi’s short film ‘Slight Pain’ is slated to make an appearance at the 3rd Asterisk Film Klubb in Norway.

The 2022 Asterisk screening event will set the 8th world premiere of ‘Slight Pain’ produced by Alireza Alavian.

‘Slight Pain’ has recently entered the official selection of the 2022 annual Poppy Jasper International Film Festival (PJIFF) which will be held on April 6-13, 2022 in the US.

The short film is the story of two young girls who team up together in a murder plan to kill one of the girl’s strict stepdad.

The 25-minute flick stars Gilda Vishki and Marjan Ettefaghian as the two only actors of the film.

‘Slight Pain’ is Nabi’s fourth film production following ‘Silent’, ‘Honeymoon’ and ‘Sleepwalkers’, which all were warmly received in international film festivals.

‘Slight Pain’ is an adaptation of ‘The Housekeeper and the Professor’ by Japanese writer Yōko Ogawa.

The Asterisk Film Klubb is a platform to “discover short underground and experimental films by artists and filmmakers from local and international communities,” writes the official website of the event.

The upcoming edition of the festival will take place on January 25, 2022 in parallel online as well as the live event.
