The 36th Flickers' Rhode Island International Film Festival (RIIFF) in the US has scheduled to host Iranian short film 'Birthday Night'.

The flick narrates the story of two friends and business partners, Ahmad and Ali, who face unexpected challenges.

Now in its 21st year, the Festival has become a leading juried competition showcase spot for international independent filmmakers and their works, a note on the event’s website reads.

The 2018 Flickers' Rhode Island International Film Festival will take place on August 7-12, 2018, in Providence, Rhode Island, the US.
