Seoul Women's Film Festival to screen Iran’s ‘Left-Handed’

The 24th edition of the Seoul International Women's Film Festival in South Korea has been scheduled to screen Iranian short flick ‘Left-Handed’.

Produced by Fariba Arab and directed by Nasrin Mohammadpour, the short film will compete with 19 other titles at the main section of the South Korean event.

Being filmed in Mashhad, northeast of Iran, over the course of seven days, the short follows Maryam who is thinking of a big decision and intends to act and bear the consequences.

Like other films by Mohammadpour, ‘Left-Handed’ is about women and society. The screenplay of the work has already won two awards at domestic festivals.
