Iran’s ‘Musician’ to vie at Greek festival

The 43rd Drama International Short Film Festival in Greece is set to feature the Iranian short film ‘Musician’.

The Iranian Youth Cinema Society reported on Tuesday that ‘Musician’, directed by Mohsen Mehri-Darvi, will vie at the Greek festival next month.

The film is about Mahmoud - a one-meter short man- who dreams of playing double bass - a two-meter-musical instrument, but he could not reach it.

Drama International Short Film Festival is a major short film festival in Greece and one of the oldest film festivals in the world.

It is “the leading Greek and South-Eastern European gateway to the world’s most prestigious short film awards,” the event’s website reads.

The 2020 edition of the festival will take place on September 20-26.
