‘The White Whale’ to screen at Cartoon Club

Iranian animation ‘The White Whale’ is slated to vie at the Cartoon Club- International Festival of Animation Cinema, Comics and Game- in Italy.

Amir Mehran’s directorial experience will be screened at the competition section of the 2021 edition of the event.

The eight-minute animation narrates the story of a war veteran who is trying to find the bodies of his soldier friends.

The man lost his fellow comrades during the war. Even though years have passed since the war ended, he is still searching for the location where he believes they were lost.

The short animated piece is a joint production of the director and Iran’s Documentary and Experimental Film Center (DEFC).

The Cartoon Club is on a mission to showcase short animations, comics and games through new and exclusive events.

This year’s edition of the fest is currently underway from July 12-15.
