'The Last Embrace’ garners US award

Directed by Saman Hosseinpour, the short film ‘The Last Embrace’ has harvested the Best Narrative Short award at The Earth Day Film Festival in the US.

‘The Last Embrace’ narrates the story of the members of a family who have drowned themselves in the internet and have made themselves so busy with their cell phones that they don’t notice the death of their grandfather.

The short has been screened at a number of international festivals including the 2019 International Children’s Film Festival in Bangladesh, the third edition of DEFY Film Festival in the US, the 10th edition of Seoul Int’l Extreme-Short Film Festival in South Korea and Porto7- Oporto Int’l Short Film Festival in Portugal.

It is worth mentioning that Best Screenplay Award of the 3rd edition of Gosh! Film Festival in France went to ‘The Last Embrace’.

The Earth Day Film Festival aims at supporting the movement toward a better relationship to the environment.

The festival was held on March 1-3, 2019.
