UK to host Iranian short ‘Today is Friday’

Iranian flick ‘Today is Friday’ has been selected to compete at the third edition of the Oxford International Short Film Festival (OXISFF) in the UK.

Directed by Mohammad Ahangar, the 14-minute film tells the story of Nader and Saeed who are two colleagues in a company.

While they are arguing with each other because of their problems in the company, something unexpected happens that causes some changes in their destinies.

‘Today is Friday’ has gone on screen at a number of global events, including the R. E. D. International Film Festival in Norway, the Dead Center Film Festival and the Santa Fe Film Festival, both in the US.

Azadeh Seifi, Farid Qobadi, Kaveh Ahangar and Pedram Jame-Bozorg are on the cast list of the short film.

The Oxford International Short Film Festival “celebrates the diversity and creativity of short films”, the event’s website reads, adding “We would like to encourage short films from all filmmakers in any genre (including documentaries). We're looking for great stories which stir the emotions, have strong characters, and unique voices or evocative worlds.”

The 2021 edition of the festival will run on 27 August-4 September.
