Iranian ‘The Fox’ wins prize in Philippines' Cebu filmfest

Iranian short animation ‘The Fox’ has won an award at the 7th edition of the Cebu International Film Festival in the Philippines.

Directed by Iranian filmmaker Sadeq Javadi, the animated piece grabbed the best short film award at the festival.

‘The Fox’ is about a young and lively fox that is caught by a hunter when experiencing its first love.

The hunter puts a bell around the fox’s neck and returns it to the woods. The bell prevents the fox from hunting and living its normal life in the woods and it soon realizes that its only way to survive is to be tamed and go back to the hunter.

Cebu International Film Festival aims to gather global filmmakers to celebrate the art and craft of filmmaking, promoting valuable cross-cultural partnerships, and sharing inspirational stories across the globe.

The 7th edition of the CEBU.IFF was held on September 18-23, 2018, in Cebu, the Philippines.
