Co-directed by Raha Amir-Fazli and Alireza Qasemi, the short film’s synopsis reads, “Just a short time before the solar eclipse, Saqi’s life goes through changes”.

The cast list of the short flick includes Khorshid Cheraghipour, Paniz Esmaeeli, Anita Baqeri, Faraz Modiri, and Peyman Naeemi.

‘Solar Eclipse’ is a co-production of the Iranian company Sixth Side and the French company White Star.

The Minimalen Short Film Festival hosts the best of international short films.

According to the official website of the festival, “Short Film is a blessed area within the Art of Film where there is still headroom for experimentation, and white spaces left on the map to explore”.

The 2022 edition of the event is scheduled for January 11-16.
