Festival of Nations to screen ‘Branded’

Iranian short film ‘Branded’ is set to participate at the 2021 edition of Festival of Nations in Austria.

The Iranian Youth Cinema Society reported on Monday that ‘Branded’, directed by Fatemeh Mohammadi, will be screened at the upcoming edition of the Austrian event in September.

Written by Amir Roueeni, the film is about Hafiz, who decides to cross the Afghan border in order to save the life of a woman and her child.

According to the report, the Festival of Nations is one of the prominent festivals in Austria. It takes place every year in the town of Lenzing.

“We show fiction, animation and documentaries from 1 to 30 minutes duration. What makes our festival special are the open discussions between jury, filmmakers and the audience right after each film block,” the event’s website reads.

The upcoming edition of the festival will take place on September 9-14.
