US to host Iran short

Iranian short flick ‘A Winner’ has made its way to the Jacksonville Film Festival (JFF) in the US.

Directed by Mehdi Mahaee, the film will be screened at the 2023 edition of the event.

This film is about a female filmmaker who is on the verge of divorce, but she realizes something that puts her at a crossroads.

Babak Ansari, Mehrnoush Sattari, Isa Hosseini and Fatemeh Zahra Hosseini are the cast members of the flick.

‘A Winner’ has already been screened at a number of global events, including the Islantilla Cineforum Film Festival in Spain, the Riverside International Film Festival in the US, and the Ischia Film Festival in Italy.

Founded in 2002, the mission of the JFF is to “celebrate motion pictures by discovering and showcasing new talents to rejuvenate the film industry by creating an atmosphere that immerses the filmmakers with their audience and community.”

The festival is an opportunity for filmmakers to be recognized for their cinematic achievements while creating an event to reward the best works submitted to the festival.

The 15th edition of the event is scheduled for February 3-5, 2023.
