‘The Hands’ awarded at Eastern Venice Cine Fest

Iranian short film ‘The Hands’ has been awarded at the Eastern Venice Cine Fest in India.

The Iranian Youth Cinema Society reported that Parviz Rajaee's ‘The Hands’ received the Certificate of Achievement for Best Iranian Film, which is given by critics, at the second edition of Eastern Venice Cine Fest.

‘The Hands’ is about determinism and free will.

“Some are still waiting to be formed by a hand, while the rest are trying to form others,” a synopsis for the film reads.

Last year, ‘The Hands’ received the best short film award at the winter season of the World Premiere Film Awards in the US.

Eastern Venice Cine Fest is an online film festival and awards event. The festival takes place every year in July. It aims to support independent filmmakers from across the world.

The festival accepts feature-length films, documentary films, short films, and animations.
