Serbian filmfest to show ‘Winter Memories’

Iranian short animation ‘Winter Memories’ is set to screen at the International festival of animated film “Constantine's Gold Coin” in Serbia.

Co-directed by Zahra Kababian and Amir-Mehdi Safdari, the animation will be on the competition list of the Serbian event’s 9th edition.

‘Winter Memories’ is an anti-war project that depicts an old woman waiting by the window. Although the woman suffers from Alzheimer disease, she constantly lives in a memory of the past.

She sees herself in childhood on the day when her father left home to join the army and never came back. How she wishes he was alive and back home.

The flick has already taken part in a number of global events including the Nostalgia International Film Festival in Italy.

Established in 2013, the International Animated Film Festival “Constantine’s gold Coin” is organized to promote cultural creativity of national and foreign authors.

The 2021 edition of the event is slated for July 12-16.

This year, 759 films from 72 countries are submitted. The selection committee has selected 126 films for the competition program.
