Iranian short flick ‘The Blue Bed’ has been selected to compete at the 30th edition of the Palencia International Film Festival (PIFF) in Spain.

Written, directed and produced by Alireza Kazemipour, the 10-minute film tells the story of a girl who has taken an inappropriate path in her life and hosts visitors at home.

But suddenly things start to change for her when a woman walks into her life.

‘The Blue Bed’ has been screened at a number of global events and won some awards, including the Best Directing award at the 10th Vancouver Short Film Festival in Canada and the best short film award at the 2020 Reading Film Festival in the US.

The short film received three nominations for Best Screenwriting Short Drama, Best Direction Short Drama, and Best Short Drama at the 2020 Leo Awards in Canada, as well as a nomination for best actress in a supporting role (Bita Beigi) at the 3rd Satisfied Eye International Film Festival in the UK.

The PIFF welcomes international films from around the world and provides filmmakers with a chance to showcase their works.

The 30th edition of the PIFF, to be held online and in person, is slated for February 26-March 6, 2021.
