‘Spotted Yellow’ to vie at Nashville festival

Iranian short film ‘Spotted Yellow’ is set to compete at the Nashville Film Festival, an Oscar-qualifying festival, in the United States.

The Iranian Youth Cinema Society reported that Baran Sarmad’s film ‘Spotted Yellow’ will take part in the 52nd edition of the American event.

Written by Mohammad-Reza Miqani, ‘Spotted Yellow’ is about Roya, a young girl who has a yellow spot on her face.

“Once she feels the signs of a real giraffe in her life, her life begins to change slowly,” a synopsis for the film reads.

‘Spotted Yellow’, which has grabbed an award at the Tehran International Film Festival in Iran, is starring Shadi Karamroudi.

The Nashville Film Festival “celebrates innovation, music and the many voices of the human spirit through the art of film”, the event’s website reads.

Founded in 1969, the Nashville Film Festival is one of the first film festivals in the US.

The upcoming edition of Nashville Film Festival will take place on September 30- October 6.
