US fest crowns Iran animation

Iran animation ‘Release from Heaven’ has succeeded to win 3 awards from the 4th edition of International Peace & Film Festival in the US.

Directed by Ali Nouri-Oskuei, the animation received Best Cinematography award, Best Avante Garde Film Award, Best Narrative Film Award from the American film event.

Set in a war torn country, the animation narrates the story of a female writer and teacher, Sareh who has to accompany two of her students on a life changing journey to find their fathers.

‘Release from Heaven’ is a mixture of fantasy and reality in which the teacher tries to tell stories for her students to encourage them, but she finds out that the heroes of her stories are real.

Founded in 2014, the International Peace & Film Festival combines the excitement of film with the goodwill of cultural exchange. The impact of blending a peace and film festival brings mutual benefit to audiences and participants through the diversity of attendees and their talents in cinematic art.

The 4th edition of International Peace & Film Festival was held on January 18-20, 2018, Orlando, florida. The awards were given to the selected film this week.
