MONSTRA to screen ‘The Fourth Wall’

Iran’s animated short film ‘The Fourth Wall’ has made its way to MONSTRA - Lisbon Animation Festival in Portugal.

Media reports said ‘The Fourth Wall’ will be screened at the 21st edition of MONSTRA.

“A stuttering boy transforms an Iranian kitchen into a fantastic cosmos. The father’s body becomes a refrigerator, the mother's belly a washing machine whose spin cycle gives birth to a screaming baby. Even birds on tiles and detergents have a surprising life of their own. This exuberant animation, dotted with real-life elements – fried eggs, broken plates, chess pieces – develops a subtle wit, ironizing ingrained family patterns,” a synopsis for the film reads.

Directed by Mahbubeh Kalai, the 10-minute animation has received an honorable mention at the Leeds International Film Festival in the UK and grabbed a jury award at the World Festival of Animated Film - Animafest Zagreb in Croatia.

The upcoming edition of MONSTRA - Lisbon Animation Festival will take place on March 16-27.
