France to host ‘Up to the Sea, She Weaves a Dream’

Iranian animation ‘Up to the Sea, She Weaves a Dream’ has been selected to compete at the 39th edition of the Tous Courts Film Festival in France.

Directed by Maryam Khalilzadeh, the 8-minute animation is a poetic film with the theme of war.

In an interview, Khailzadeh said, “the dialogue-less animation is about the women who kept themselves busy with knitting to forget and heal the post-war wounds”.

“They keep knitting to find peace but she weaves a dream up to the sea”, a synopsis to the animation reads.

As the director said, she “made the animation with the theme of war but it is more an admiration of peace”.

Established in 1982, the Tous Court Film Festival hosts international films from around the world.

The upcoming edition of the festival has been scheduled for November 22-December 4, 2021.
