Iranian short flick ‘This One Minute’ has been selected to compete at the 5th edition of the London International Motion Picture Awards (LIMPA) in the UK.

Directed by Behrouz Baqeri, the short film narrates the story of a number of young people who participate in a mental aggressive game and get into trouble.

A synopsis of the short film reads, “In today's world, people are being transformed into new slaves by social media and mobile phone addiction and greed for money and fame. What is the way of salvation when we are caught?”

Also written by Baqeri, the cast of the film includes Alireza Tajer, Ali Jamali, Niloufar Lak, and Doris Heidari.

The annual LIMPA aims to spread film culture and create a space for filmmakers to progress and to connect to each other.
