Iranian ‘Spotted Yellow’ competing at Dhaka fest

Short flick ‘Spotted Yellow’ has been competing at the 16th edition of the International Short and Independent Film Festival Dhaka (ISIFF) in Bangladesh.

Directed by Baran Sarmad, the 12-minute film is about Roya, a girl who has a yellow spot on her face.

One day she feels the signs of a real giraffe within and her life starts to change gradually.

“She sees her spots. She hears her voice and she feels her,” a tagline for ‘Spotted Yellow’ reads.

According to Sarmad, the flick is about a girl who has a dream and does whatever it takes to achieve the longing.

Shadi Karamroudi is the only actress in the flick.

‘Spotted Yellow’ went on screen at some global events, including the Locarno International Film Festival in Switzerland, the Chicago International Film Festival in the US, the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival in Estonia, the Glasgow Short Film Festival in Scotland, and the Atlanta Film Festival in the US.

Launched in 1988, the ISIFF is one of the oldest festivals in Bangladesh.

Films from 130 countries are participating in the festival.

The 16th edition of the event is being held on February 25-March 4.
