Iran’s ‘I Will Never Leave You’ to vie at Duemila30 filmfest

The Duemila30 film festival in Italy has been slated to screen Iranian short flick ‘I Will Never Leave You’.

Directed by Alireza Biglari, the short flick will be among the titles to compete at the Human &Civil rights program of the 6th edition of the Italian event.

‘I Will Never Leave You’ is based on a true story in which Kabul has fallen and the Taliban have taken control of the city, killing ordinary people, journalists, artists and women.

A journalist filmed one of the execution scenes by the Taliban and now he wants to send it to all news agencies, and they have found out about this and are looking for him to destroy his camera and kill him.

The film has already been awarded at the Anthem Film Festival in the US. It grabbed the Best Short Fiction award of the fest.

The Duemila30 is an international film experience dedicated to young talented filmmakers and focused on sustainable development and social inclusion.

This year’s edition of the fest is set to be held on June 9-11.
