Italian Figari to screen Iranian ‘The Visit’

Iranian short title ‘The Visit’ has been set to compete at the 10th edition of the Figari Film Fest in Italy.

Directed by Azadeh Mousavi, the 14-minute film is about Elaheh who is allowed to visit her husband, a prisoner, after six months.

She and her little daughter, Tara, have one single day to get ready for the significant meeting.

The film has previously attended the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival in France and the Palm Springs International Film Festival in the US.

It is also scheduled to go on screen at the 21st Friss Hús Budapest Short Film Festival in Hungary in 2021.

Established in 2011, the Figari Film Fest is a festival and market dedicated to young and independent cinema, short films, and young directors’ debuts.

The festival presents about 50 under-20-minute films in several sections every year.

The 10th edition of the Figari event is scheduled for September 13-16, 2020.
