US picks Iran notable animation

Iran notable animation ‘The Servant’ is to vie at the Huntington Beach Film Festival in the US.

Directed by Farnoush Abedi, the animated piece will compete at the 2018 edition of the event.

‘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 Servant’ has grabbed more than 20 awards from different national and international film festivals.

Since 2005, the Huntington Beach Film Festival has been bringing the best of independent films to the society.

The latest edition of the festival is set for February 22-24, 2018.
