Salerno filmfest to present Iranian ‘Changing Room’

The 2020 edition of the Salerno International Film Festival in Italy has been scheduled to screen the Iranian short flick ‘Changing Room’.

Directed by Atefeh Rahmani and produced by Hamidreza Zobeir, the 25-minute flick follows the story of a teenage girl who helps her family pay for her sister’s wedding, using money from her work as a model.

Unable to reveal the source of her income to her controlling traditional father, the girl coordinates modeling gigs in between wedding preparations.

After a betrayal threatens to end her career, the girl finds an original way to turn her father’s punishment to her advantage.

‘Changing Room’ has so far gone on screen at a number of global events, including the Vox Popular Media Arts Festival in Canada and the Ojai Film Festival in the US.

The film’s cast list includes Majid Mozaffari, Roya Teimourian, Sanaz Mesbah, and Hasti Tishehgaran.

Born in 1946, the Salerno festival aims to promote culture through cinema.

Feature films, short films, cartoons, and fictions are presented to compete at the festival.

The 2020 edition of the event is slated for December 7-12.
