Short Film Breaks to screen ‘The War Within’

Iranian short film ‘The War Within’ has made its way to the Short Film Breaks film festival in Romania.

The Iranian Youth Cinema Society reported that ‘The War Within’ will be screened at the 10th edition of the Romanian event.

Written and directed by Javid Farahani, ‘The War Within’ is about a handicapped man who has lost his legs in an accident and is busy with trades in the foreign currency market as a speculator.

He is holding foreign currencies in the hope of selling them at a higher rate to pay the cost of his surgery.

The film is starring Farhad Najafi and Shima Khosheqbal.

‘The War Within’ was previously screened at the 74th Salerno International Film Festival in Italy.

Short Film Breaks is “the only film festival taking place within private companies, public and non-profit organizations, in a bid to offer smart break opportunities while promoting the independent movie industry around the world”, the event’s website reads.

The festival’s mission is “to create a bridge between hard to distribute films (especially independent short films) and hard to reach audiences (employees and beneficiaries from our partner companies and NGOs and people living in remote villages around the world)”.
