Canadian fest to host Iranian ‘The Unseen’

The Rendezvous with Madness Film Festival in Canada has set to host Iranian animated documentary ‘The Unseen’.

The feature-length Iranian film, directed by Behzad Nalbandi, will compete at the 28th edition of the Canadian event.

‘The Unseen’ is an attempt to show the pains and miseries the homeless people, especially women, must endure.

A city is about to receive some high-ranking guests, so the officials take all the hobos off the streets, in order to beautify the face of the city.

Among the incarcerated people are some men who will get their release within two or three days after their arrest, but the women will get a vague destiny.

The flick has already been showcased at a number of international fests, including the Krakow Film Festival in Poland.

Headed by Mohammad Atyabi, the Iranian Independents film distributing company is in charge of foreign screenings of the flick.

The Rendezvous with Madness Film Festival is themed on mental health.

This year’s edition of the event is slated for October 15-25.
