Russian festival awards Iran’s ‘Irreversible’

The 12th edition of the International Youth Film Festival “Light to the world” in Russia has awarded Iran’s animation ‘Irreversible’.

Iranian media reports said ‘Irreversible’, directed by Sheyda Kashi, won the third award in the animation category of the festival.

“A country is occupied by foreigners. And there is only one survivor left. The occupiers have changed everything: Streets, names, languages, flags, etc. The survivor has been fighting for thirty-seven years. Endless war, with undeniable reality,” a synopsis for the animated short film reads.

The Light to the world festival is aimed to “promote the spiritual, moral, patriotic and aesthetic education of the modern youth”.

The 12th edition of the event took place on May 17-21.
