Iranian ‘Short Wave’ to go on screen in Canada

The Iranian Cinematheque of Didar in Toronto has selected the short film ‘Short Wave’ for screening during a program named “Screening of Tirgan”.

Written and directed by Mohammad Esmaeeli, the film is adapted from a story written by Gholam-Hossein Saedi.

It tells the story of a man who is struggling with the annoying sound of his environment and shows his attempts to silence them.

The short title has received the Best Experimental/Art Film award at the 15th Annual West Chester International Short Film Festival in the US and a Special Mention at the 5th Alexandria Short Film Festival in Greece.

The Iranian Cinematheque of Didar screenings will be followed by Q&A sessions, attended by the film crews, on February 21.
