US fest to vie Iran animation

Iran animation ‘Nobody’ has been scheduled to go on screen at the 15th edition of Red Wasp International Film Festival in the US.

Directed by Elham Toroqi, the 9-minute animation is to represent Iran at the American film event.

‘Nobody’ tells the story of a white cat living in city of black residents. The cat tries hard to get food but no one seems bothered to give any.

The animation has so far succeeded to win Special Jury Award at the 11th edition of the ANIMANIMA International Animation Festival in Serbia in 2017.

 Founded in 2004, the Red Wasp Film Festival is dedicated to bringing quality films to the Brazos Valley region and increasing appreciation of film and filmmaking.

The 2018 edition of the event is slated for May 6 in the Brazos Valley, Texas, the US.
