‘World Cup’ to vie at Paladino d’Oro Fest in Italy

Iranian short film ‘World Cup’ has been scheduled to take part in the Paladino d’Oro Sport Film Festival in Italy.

Written and directed by Maryam Khodabakhsh, the short film will be on screen at the 42nd edition of the Italian film event.

“On the night of a couple's migration, the child of their friend, who has been entrusted to them, gets lost, and then a secret is revealed,” a synopsis for ‘World Cup’ reads.

The film bagged four awards at the Silent River Film Festival in the US, including the Best Narrative Short, the River Rock Award for the Best Actor, the River Pearl Award for the Best Female Actor, and the River Rock Award for the Best Child Actor.

The Paladino d'Oro Sport Film Festival promotes the dissemination of sports films and videos which, in different ways and forms of production, contribute to the development of artistic and cultural trends and represent an international showcase for the large distributions of world cinema.

This year’s edition of the fest is slated for November 7-13.
