Regina festival to screen ‘Passenger to Fukushima’

Iranian short film ‘Passenger to Fukushima’ has made its way to the Regina International Film Festival & Awards (RIFFA) in Canada.

Masoumeh Nour-Mohammadi’s latest directorial experience will represent Iran at the 7th edition of the event.

The first days of 2011 were the bitterest winter in Japan; when a magnitude 10.0 earthquake shook the east of the country and sent violent waves to the shores of the Pacific Ocean.

The documentary pictures real stories and shots from this disaster, taken by Iranian journalist, Afshin Valinejad.

The RIFFA aims to support emerging filmmakers and is committed to help mental health initiatives.

The 2021 edition of the event will be held on August 10-14.
