Iran film on way to Italy

Iranian short film ‘The Stain’ has found its way to the Dieciminuti Film Festival in Italy.

Shouresh Vakili’s 12-minute flick will hit the screen at the EETALARGE section of the Italian fest’s 17th edition.

The film is about a war veteran who works in a movie theater. His job entails removing a blood stain that appears on screen every time a war film is played.

However, the more he scrubs the stain, the bigger it gets until it drops onto the floor and leaves a puddle.

‘The Stain’ has been screened at some global events, including the "One Shot" International Short Film Festival in Armenia, "The Wild West" FreedomFest in the US and the Small Axe film festival in the UK, where it grabbed the Best Short Film award.

Established in 2005, the Dieciminuti Film Festival claims to work like a school which brings together the young and talented to approach the cinema of the world.

The upcoming edition of the event is slated for March 29- April 02, 2022.
