‘The Servant’ shortlisted at San Mauro filmfest

Iranian animation ‘The Servant’ has been nominated at the San Mauro International Film Festival in Italy.

Directed by Farnoush Abedi, the animation was shortlisted as a semi-finalist at the 2018 edition of the event.

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

San Mauro Torinese is a small Italian comune in the Metropolitan City of Turin, in Piedmont (Italy).

The San Mauro Torinese International Film Festival (STIFF) will run its second edition on May 23 – 25, 2018, in Turin, Italy.
