Iranian ‘Bedside’ wins at French fest

Iranian flick ‘Bedside’ has garnered the Best Short Film Experimental award at the Bordeaux Shorts: International Festival of 1-Minute Films and Short Films in France.

Directed by Ehsan Shadmani, the short film narrates the story of an old man lying in a bed in a strange hospital and writing something.

The old man is writing the story of two characters in a beautiful and remote jungle.

It seems strange, but the two characters that were described by the old man arrive in the abandoned hospital to save him.

The cast of the film includes Zavosh Taqvaee, Leila Dokouhaki, Pardis Shirvani, and Iman Dabiri.

According to the official website of the Bordeaux Shorts, the event accepts super short films on the belief that “The Stories and the way they are told take precedence over the technical means used and that we tell a lot with very little…”.

The 2020 edition of the French festival announced the winners on October 23.
