Italian festival to screen Iran’s ‘The Hands’

Iranian short film ‘The Hands’ is set to be featured at the 2020 edition of RIETI & SABINA Film Festival in Italy.

The Iranian Youth Cinema Society reported on Monday that ‘The Hands’ by Parviz Rajaee will be screened at the Italian event in November.

‘The Hands’ is about determinism and free will.

“Some are still waiting to be formed by hand while the rest are trying to form others,” a synopsis for the film reads.

‘The Hands’ received the best short film award at the winter season (January-March) of the World Premiere Film Awards in the US.

RIETI & SABINA Film Festival aims to “give a chance to disclose to the audience talents, authors, actors, directors, and filmmakers with the purpose of creating synergies between film professionals and new talents”, an online submission platform says.

The upcoming edition of the festival will take place on November 8-10.
