Corto Creativo filmfest awarded Iran animation ‘The Servant’

Iranian animation ‘The Servant’ has grabbed an international award in Mexico.

Directed by Farnoush Abedi, ‘The Servant’ won the best animation award at the Corto Creativo International Film Festival in Mexico.

'The Servant' narrates the familiar story of a master and his servant, the story of a writer’s encounter with a gigantic insect, a cockroach.

The cockroach becomes a servant but gradually begins to realize that it deserves better conditions, so it tries to turn the table and change the game in its own favor.

The man, however, attempts to preserve the current situation but soon realizes that the game has no rules.

‘The Servant’ previously won the Best Animation award at the 33rd Tehran International Short Film Festival in Tehran and the Best Short Film title at the 13th edition of Fantaspoa - International Fantastic Film Festival in Brazil.

The Iranian animation has also won an award at the 14th London Independent Film Festival in the UK and the best animation award of the 2017 edition of the Silver Scream Fest in California, the US.

It also bagged Best Short Animation award at Querétaro International Film Festival in Mexico recently.

The Corto Creative International Short Film Showcase is a platform for professional and student filmmakers from around the world.

It is the only Festival in Baja California dedicated exclusively to Short Films and remains the oldest festival in the Region.
