‘Epilogue’ presenting Iran at SIMFEST

‘Epilogue’ is currently in contention at the competition section of the 17th International Festival of TV Broadcasters and Independent Producers - SIMFEST in Romania.

Co-directed by Mehdi Azari and Amin Ektesabi, ‘Epilogue’ is a production of the Iranian Youth Cinema Society of Maragheh.       

“In an apocalyptic world, humans are forced to give the savings of human knowledge to half-human-half-animal creatures in exchange for little food. Then, in a rigorous bureaucratic and industrial process, these creatures turn human knowledge into canned food for certain creatures,” reads as a plot summery published in media.

‘Epilogue’ has already competed at a number of film festivals, including the 36th Tehran International Short Film Festival, the 26th L'Etrange Festival in France, the 16th Kazan Muslim Film Festival in Russia as well as the 20th Izmir International Short Film Festival in Turkey.

The SIMFEST is recognized as a TV festival in Romania, the only one of this kind and one of the few in Europe. It is aimed at supporting and promoting the creators in visual arts.

The annual Romanian film event kicked off on September 14 and will wrap up on September 20, 2020.
