Award-winning animation hits Iran screens

Iran’s animation ‘Holy Cast’ directed by Mohammad-Amin Hamedani has started public screening with several cinema theaters in Tehran.

A production of the Owj Arts and Media Organization, the animated film depicts a story from the Holy Quran. It is about a group of people who were thrown into a ditch and set afire because of their strong belief in Allah.

The animation has so far bagged dozens of international and domestic awards and accolades from different festivals in New York, Madrid, Hollywood, India’s Jaipur, Romania, London, and Iran’s Fajr Film Festival.

The animated film also won the Special Jury award at the 30th International Film Festival for Children and Youth in historic Iranian city of Isfahan.

Some famous Iranian voice-actors, including Changiz Jalilvand, Khosro Khosroshahi, Bahram Zand, Nasrollah Medqalchi and Akbar Mannani, led by Maryam Shirzad, lent their voices to the animation.
