Huesca filmfest is to host Iran’s ‘Barter’

Iranian short flick ‘Barter’ has been scheduled to be shown at the Huesca International Film Festival in Spain.

Iranian actress Ziba Karamali, on her directorial debut, collaborated with Emad Arad in the production of the short flick that will be among the competing titles at the 49th edition of the Spanish event.

‘Barter’ tells the story of an adolescent boy who leads his family to get involved in some incidents just because he wants to hide his secret.

Karamali told to the media that in her film she has tried to detach her characters from their cliché roles and to define a new way of interaction between them.

The film means to show how we all have experienced times when a change in our situation leads us to make decisions that are mostly in paradox with our values.

Sara Bahrami and Alireza Sanifar are among the cast members of the flick.

Arad and Karamali’s short flick has already gone on screen at the Tehran International Short Film Festival in Iran.

The Huesca International film festival has been founded by Foundacion Festival Internacional de Cine de Huesca.

This year’s edition of the event is slated for June 11-19.
