‘Simulation of Mr. Yellow’ to screen at ArchFilmLund

Iranian movie ‘Simulation of Mr. Yellow’ is slated to vie at the ArchFilmLund in Sweden.

The short film directed by Mahan Khomamipour, has made its way to the 10th edition of the Lund International Architecture Film Festival.

A synopsis of ‘Simulation of Mr. Yellow’ reads, “A journalist (Shahrzad) who travels to her motherland to make reports for the media in Aleppo, a city which is destroyed in the war, she meets an old Man dressed all in yellow. She gets interested in the yellow man and wants to make a report about him, but the yellow man doesn’t talk at all. So, Shahrzad starts searching for the true story of this old man in the whispering of a war-torn city.”

‘Simulation of Mr. Yellow’ is a documentary on love and how it makes a man go unaware of whatever might happen around him.

Set in war-stricken Syria, a man always wears yellow garments hoping that his beloved will recognize him among the demolished walls of the city.

But she never shows up and the man must practice his ritual every single day.

‘Simulation of Mr. Yellow’ has so far gone on screen at some global events, including the Riga International Short Film Festival in Latvia and the Sheffield Short Film Festival in the UK, where it was nominated for the Best Documentary award.

ArchFilmLund is a Swedish film event that offers film screenings, workshops and debates events.

The 2021 edition of the event will take place in October.
