Sweden filmfest to host Iran animation

Iranian short animation ‘Maned & Macho’ is slated to compete at the Göteborg Film Festival in Sweden.

Directed by Shiva Sadegh Asadi, 'Maned & Macho' will compete with other works at the animation section of the event.

The animation narrates the story of a young girl's repressed emotions and instincts that are embodied in some animals which come out of her dreams. However, no one in her family is receptive to these animals.

Göteborg Film Festival is the largest film festival in the Nordic countries. Each year the festival’s program group travels around the world to track down choice films to bring them back to Göteborg.

These films are then presented during the ten-day festival at the end of January, creating a great banquet serving audiences with nearly 450 films from some 80 countries.

The 41st edition of the event is to be held on January 26- February 5, 2018.
