London fest nominates Iran animation

Iran animation ‘The Servant’ has been shortlisted by the 3rd Unrestricted View Horror Film Festival in the UK.

Directed by Farnoush Abedi, the flick was nominated among the six vying for the ‘best short’ competition category of the filmfest.

‘The Servant’ has so far grabbed more than 20 awards from different national and international film festivals.

It 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 Unrestricted View Horror Film Festival is run by filmmakers and aims to celebrate the very best in indie and encourage all aspects of independent film making. The 2017 edition of the event was launched on October 30 and will wrap up on November 5 in London.
