Women’s Worlds film festival to screen ‘The Visit’

Iranian short flick ‘The Visit’ has been set to participate in the Women's Worlds film festival in Germany.

Directed by Azadeh Mousavi, the short film will be screened at the 21th edition of the German event.

‘The Visit’ is about a young girl and her mother who are on the way to visit the father of the family in a jail.

It was named the best short film at the seventh edition of Iranian Film Festival of Zurich in Switzerland.

The annual film festival Women’s Worlds “focuses on the human rights situation of women worldwide”, the website of the event reads.

“In contrast to other women’s film festivals that exclusively show films by female filmmakers, Women’s World, as a thematic festival on human rights for women, offers a screen for films by women and men,” it adds.

The festival was originally founded in Tubingen, but has been taking place in Berlin since 2020.

The upcoming edition of Women's Worlds will run from October 27 to November 3.
