Belgium fest to host Iranian films

Three Iranian short titles are scheduled to vie at the Brussels Short Film Festival in Belgium.

'Retouch' directed by Kaveh Mazaheri, Farnoush Samadi's 'Gaze' and 'Not Yet' by Arian Vazir-Daftari are the films to vie at the event.

Produced by the Iranian Young Cinema Society, ‘Retouch’ is about a young woman whose husband dies before her eyes and she just observes the tragic scene.

'Gaze' depicts the story of a woman who on her way back home learns about an incident on the bus. She is undecided whether to reveal the issue.

The 15-minute 'Not Yet' is about Hasti, who has just turned 21. She studies abroad and her parents in Iran want to congratulate her online.

Despite the distractions of her life abroad, Hasti longs for her old home in Iran. Meanwhile, her parents are intent on concealing their crumbling marriage.

The Brussels Film Festival is an annual event showcasing works of cinema. It has been held at the Flagey Building in Brussels since 2002.

The festival's official selections are slated to screen from April 25 to May 6, 2018 in Belgium .
