La Paz filmfest to screen Iran’s ‘Malakout’

The 7th FICLAPAZ- La Paz International Film Festival in Bolivia is scheduled to screen Iranian short animation ‘Malakout’.

Directed by Farnoush Abedi, the short film will be competing and showcased at the Animation Short Film section of the Bolivian film event.

Malakout dubbed ‘Divinity’ in English narrates the story of a pianist whose wife is about to die. To prevent her death, the man makes a deal with the angel to take his hand instead of claiming her life.

The short has already taken part in a number of global events, including the Guadalajara Int’l Film Festival in Mexico, the Brooklyn Int’l Film Festival in the US, the Capital City Film Festival in the US and the Galactic Imaginarium Film Festival in Spain. 

This year’s edition of the FICLAPAZ is scheduled for September 3-6.
