Directed by Abdollah Alimorad, ‘The Farmer and The Robot’ is competing in the Young Audience section.
In animation, a spacecraft is forced to land in a watermelon field after a cooling system breakdown.
The craft’s doors open and, as the robot heads towards a water pitcher to slake his thirst, a farmer and his donkey rush to the safety of the house.
The animation has been produced at the Institute for Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults – Kanoon.
The official section of the festival will run until March 7.
