Iran short wins top prize at fest Bleedingham festival

Iran short ‘Limit’, has won the award for best picture at the 6th Bleedingham short horror film festival in the US.

Directed and written by Javad Daraei, the 8-minute film which is his second flick, chronicles the story of a man in a quiet neighborhood, who asks the people around to help him, when all of a sudden, somebody goes into his home...

Javad Daraei adopts a spiritual viewpoint in his movies, this time utilizing a narrative that aims at challenging the status quo regarding the rights of the disabled.

His film, ‘Limit’, depicts the trials and tribulations of handicapped people in their daily lives; issues that irk them given all the snap judgment around.

The flick recently won the the best foreign short film prize at the international Hollywood Hills Awards in October 2017.

His first film ‘I don’t like her’, produced in 2016, won several festivals, including the 32nd Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival, the MoonDance International Festival, as well as the Hollywood Hills Awards in the US for ‘Best Short’ as the latest one in the row just a couple of weeks ago. It also got two nominations from the latter.
