‘The Cocoon and Butterfly’ to vie at Cinekid filmfest

Iranian feature film ‘The Cocoon and Butterfly’ is slated to vie at the Cinekid Film Festival in the Netherlands.

The film will be screened at the main competition section of the 35th edition of the event.

‘The Cocoon and Butterfly’, directed by Mohammad Salehinejad, is on screen at the ‘Staying Together’ section of the 2021 BIKY, in which the organizers focus mainly on harmony and conflict in a community.

‘The Cocoon and Butterfly’ is about Parvaneh, a seven-year-old girl who is disabled and unable to attend school. Yavar, a pupil of second grade, tries to teach her at home. Meanwhile, Parvaneh’s father disagrees.

The movie was crowned best at the 50th Roshd International Film Festival, promoting films on educational topics for children.

As an international multi-day event for the children's media industry, the Cinekid Festival promotes quality in children's and youth media.
