‘Breathing’ to screen at Italian film event

Iranian short ‘Breathing’ has been scheduled to screen at the 2019 edition of VICOLI CORTI Film Festival in Italy.

Directed by Farshid Ayyoubinejad, the short film narrates the story of some stone factory workers who do not have health care and have to hide in a small dark room every month when the insurance agent arrives. This time that the agent shows up, though, something unexpected happens.

‘Breathing’ has so far attended several international events including 2019 Busan International Short Film Festival (BISFF) in South Korea, 2018 Lifft India | Filmotsav-World Cine Fest and 21st edition of Festival Internacional de Cortometrajes de Vila-real in Spain.

The film has also participated at the Human Rights International Film Festival in the Italian city of Orvieto and won the award for Best Short.

The 14th edition of the VICOLI CORTI Film Festival is slated for August 21-25, 2019.
