Iran animation to shine in Lebanon

Iran animation ‘Alphabet’ has been scheduled to be screened at the 5th edition of Tripoli Film Festival in Lebanon.

Directed by Kianoush Abedi, the animation will vie at the competition section of the event.

Alphabet is a 3D animation produced in late 2017. The 6-minute animated piece depicts a nation that has forgotten the alphabet of living. They cannot see, cannot hear, and cannot speak, but the words are waiting for them eagerly.

“According to my observation, humans are moving away from their true selves with each passing day. The animation is for adults,” Abedi said about the story of his work.

This is while the flick recently grabbed two awards at the 5th Speechless Film Festival in the US and the 5th Festival Sayulita in Mexico.

The event is slated for April 19-26, 2018, in Beirut, Lebanon.
