Iran animation to vie at Poland

Iranian animation ‘Run Rostam, Run’ is to be screened at the Warsaw Int’l Filmfest in Poland.

Directed by Hossein Molayemi, the animation will vie at the short film competition section.

The animation tells the story of Rostam, a main character of Persian poet Ferdowsi’s epic masterpiece Shahnameh, who travels into the future and comes to Tehran in 2017.
