Washington filmfest to screen Iran’s ‘Sky Sun, Tile Sun’

The Washington DC International Film Festival (Filmfest DC) in the US has scheduled to screen Iranian short animation ‘Sky Sun, Tile Sun’.

Directed by Ziba Arzhang, the 6-minute film will be shown at the 35th edition of the US event.

‘Sky Sun, Tile Sun’ is about a city painted on a tile that undergoes intense explosion and bombardment.

Due to the incident, the sun breaks into many pieces and the city gets dark. But the people build a new sun together.

In the production of the flick, Arzhang has taken benefit of Iranian art manifested in the form of beautiful tile works.

The short animation participated in some global events, including the Sonoma International Film Festival in the US and the London Kurdish Film Festival in the UK.

The “Filmfest DC is the largest and longest-running film festival in Washington, DC”, according to the event’s official website.

The 35th edition of the annual fest is slated for June 4-13, 2021.
