‘Are You Volleyball?!’ to go on screen in Cyprus

Iran short film ‘Are You Volleyball?!’ has been scheduled to go on the silver screen at the 5th edition of International Motion Festival in Cyprus.

The flick is to represent Iran at the competition section of the International Motion Festival in Cyprus.

Directed by Mohammad Bakhshi ,the film features a group of Arabic-speaking asylum seekers who try to make their way to the border in an English speaking country.

They get into a conflict with border guards every day up until a deaf-mute child becomes a catalyst for better communication between the two sides.

Founded in 2015, the International Motion Festival aims to open a forum for the presentation of the most contemporary and most creative work in the world of motion and thus to be established as the Pioneering Festival that promotes innovative and cutting-edge work.

The 2019 edition of the event is slated for May 6-9, in Nicosia, Cyprus.
