Panama festival to screen ‘The Hands’

Iranian short film ‘The Hands’ is set to be featured at the Canal de Panama International Film Festival.

Parviz Rajaee's ‘The Hands’ will be screened in the “Experimental” section of the 5th edition of the Panamian festival later this week.

‘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.

The Canal de Panama International Film Festival is "a film event that unites filmmakers from east and west," according to an online submission platform.

The 2020 edition of the festival will take place on August 13-16.
