Iranian short ‘The Castle’ garners award at Italian fest

Iranian short flick ‘The Castle’ has garnered an honorable mention at the September edition of the 2020 Assurdo Film Festival in Italy.

The short drama is written and directed by Saba Qasemi and its cast includes Sajjad Tabesh, Sima Sheybani, Mahdokht Molaee, Emad Emami, Armin Sayyad, and Ali Nasir.

The short flick has previously gone on screen at several film festivals, including the 16th Angel Film Awards-Monaco International Film Festival and the 1st annual Arizona International Short Film Festival, both in the US.
