Whitaker St. Louis filmfest to host Iran animation ‘Light Sight’

Iranian animation ‘Light Sight’ is slated to be screened at the Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival in the US.

Directed by Moslem Tabatabaee, ‘Light Sight’ is the story of a creature named M.E. who is enamored by a white light outside of its room.

“The animation has one character and one setting,” Tabatabaee told the media earlier on, adding, “The character tries to escape from the room to get to the light he sees outside.”

The 3D animation has already won awards at scores of international festivals.

The St. Louis International Film Festival (also known as SLIFF or Cinema St. Louis) is an annual film festival in St. Louis, Missouri, which has been running since 1992.

The film event was established for the purpose of producing, promoting, and presenting annual film events to advance film as an art form.

The 26th edition of the Saint Louis International Film Festival is underway from November 2-12, 2017.
