‘Colors Are Free' added to Meihodo Int’l fest lineup

‘Colors Are Free' has been added to the Iranian lineup of the 4th annual Meihodo International Youth Media Festival (MIYVMF) in the US.

Directed and produced by Behnam Mohammadi, ‘Colors Are Free' is a social documentary film about an old man who is known as a master painter in pursuit of his lost past.

During the story, a young man named Mahyar joins him to learn painting and to discover the magic of colors; and this is when an old secret is revealed.

According to Mohammadi, the movie is captured in a different ambiance where the locations and frames look like paintings.

Manouchehr Alipour, Yousef Yazdani and Sepideh Pahlevanzadeh star in the movie.  

This year, Oscar-winning actor and filmmaker Michael Douglas will serve as guest of honor and advisor at the Meihodo festival. Douglas will appear during the short film festival’s virtual awards ceremony to announce the grand prize winner and offer insights to young filmmakers.
