‘Paradoping’ to vie at Beijing festival

Iranian short ‘Paradoping’ has made its way to the Beijing International Children’s Film Festival in China.

The Iranian Youth Cinema Society reported that ‘Paradoping’, directed by Mohammad Reza Hassani Ranjbar and written by Reza Fahimi, will compete in the Chinese festival.

The comedy film is about a 12-year-old boy who tries to lose weight in a short period of time in order to prepare for football skills assessment tests, but his family is worried that he would suffer from malnutrition.

‘Paradoping’ previously took part in the 39th edition of Tehran International Short Film Festival in Iran.

The upcoming edition of Beijing International Children’s Film Festival will take place on April 20-25.
