Iran’s film ‘Spotted Yellow’ competing at POFF

Iranian short film ‘Spotted Yellow’ is competing at the 24th edition of the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (or POFF) in Estonia.

The Iranian Youth Cinema Society reported on Tuesday that Baran Sarmad’s film ‘Spotted Yellow’ is taking part in the festival’s "Rebels with a Cause" program.

The competition section is "dedicated to films that defy the traditional modes of filmmaking", the event's website reads.

Written by Mohammad-Reza Miqani, ‘Spotted Yellow’ is about Roya, a young girl who has a yellow spot on her face.

“Once she feels the signs of a real giraffe in her life, her life begins to change slowly,” a synopsis for the film reads.

‘Spotted Yellow’, which has grabbed an award at the Tehran International Film Festival in Iran, is starring Shadi Karamroudi.

The 24th edition of Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival began on Friday and will run until November 29.
