Some 17 international film festivals have so far hosted Iran animation ‘Blows with the Wind’ in 2018.

Film Festival, The Queens World Film Festival, the Cinequest Film & VR Festival, the Garden State Film Festival, the Ocean City Film Festival and the Victoria TX Independent Film Festival, are to screen the animated movie.

The short animation narrates the story of a scarecrow that faces some unpleasant events. The scarecrow becomes human and breaks away from those situations.

On the way he sees two other scarecrows whose conditions are not better than that of him. Thus he is on the horns of a dilemma and must make a hard decision.

Directed by Hazhir Asadi, the short animation has so far attended a number of international film festivals all around the world.

Some of the above film festivals have been held in early 2018 and the rest are to be launched in March, April and May 2018.
