Alicante fest to screen Iranian ‘Paper God’

The Alicante International Film Festival in Spain has been set to screen Iranian short flick ‘Paper God’.

Directed by Daniyal Mahmoudnia, the 10-minute film will be shown at the International Shorts competition section of the 18th edition of the Spanish event.

The flick is about Ali who wants to get to the top of a cliff where all the other kids gather to play and throw paper planes. Despite being in a wheelchair, he wants to take his chance to soar.

‘Paper God’ has been the winner of the best audience choice award at the Hilltop Film Festival in the US state of Alabama. It has also gone on screen at some other global events, including the KIDS First! Film Festival in the US and the MENA - Middle East & North Africa Film Festival in Canada.

Ali Khani, Rajou Taqavinejad, and Hossein Aqa-Mozaffari are on the cast list of the short flick.

This year’s edition of the Alicante International Film Festival is slated for May 29-June 5.
