‘The Servant’ wins award at US filmfest

Acclaimed short animation ‘The Servant’ by Iranian director Farnoush Abedi has brought home an award from a film festival in the US state of California.

‘The Servant’ won the best animated film award at the Horrible Imaginings Film Festival in the southern California city of San Diego, the organizers announced.

‘The Servant’ narrates the familiar story of a master and his servant, the story of a writer’s encounter with a gigantic insect, a cockroach.

The cockroach becomes a servant but gradually begins to realize that it deserves better conditions, so it tries to turn the table and change the game in its own favor.

The man, however, attempts to preserve the current situation but soon realizes that the game has no rules.

The Iranian animation has won a lot of awards from festivals past – winning the best animation award at the 19th Iran Cinema Celebration in Tehran last week, and the Best Short Film title at the 13th edition of Fantaspoa - International Fantastic Film Festival in Brazil.

The Horrible Imaginings Film Festival was held at the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego from September 8-10.

The festival was founded in 2010 by Miguel Rodriguez to promote and spotlight exemplary new artistic voices in what is commonly known as the horror genre.
