Iran’s ‘Doll’ to vie at Polish Edukino fest

The Films Against War Festival (Edukino) in Poland has been slated to host Iranian short flick ‘Doll’.

Directed by Nasrin Gol-Reihan, the short flick is among the selected titles to hit the screen at the 13th edition of the Nigerian event.

The film, produced at Baran Cinema School headed by Hossein Shahabi, narrates the story of a little kid, who has been rescued by a female reporter. The save takes place in the war-ravaged city of Aleppo in Syria.

Rezvan Beheshtian, Sahar Abdollahi, Mohammad-Javad Asadi and Nabiollah Minaei-Javid are the cast members of ‘Doll’.

The flick has already taken part in a great amount of global events, including the Standalone Film Festival & Awards in the US, the Female Eye Film Festival in Canada, the Global Voices Film Festival UN Women in the US, and the International Short Film Days Berlin in Germany.

The theme of the Edukino festival is war in the broad sense of the word. The event aims for its audience to see the war in full focus and from different perspectives – to become aware not only of the atrocities and consequences of it between nations, but also of the actions, phenomena and mechanisms that lead to conflicts and fuel them, as well as such that may extinguish them.

This year’s edition of the fest is set for September 22-23.
