‘Loupetoo’ to take part in Kids First festival

Iranian animation ‘Loupetoo’ has made its way to the Kids First Film Festival in the United States.

‘Loupetoo’ by Abbas Askari will be screened at the 19th edition of Kids First Film Festival, Soureh Cinema Organization said.

The film’s name is inspired by the word Kermani people of Iran use to refer to handmade toys that mothers used to make for their children in the past.

The animation is about a hospital where Dr. Saeed Kamali treats his mental patients through letting them make toys.

“A person disguised as a patient vandalizes the workshop and causes its closure. The doctor’s son, Ali, tries to help his father to solve the problem,” a synopsis for the film reads.

‘Loupetoo’ previously took part in various festivals in Iran and across the world, including the Universal Kids Film Festival in Turkey.

It was also awarded at the 4th edition of Ahmedabad International Children Film Festival (AICFF) in India.

The 19th Kids First Film Festival will take place on January 21-28.
