TEHRAN -- A lineup of short films by directors from five countries was screened during a program at Tehran’s Arasbaran Cultural Center Wednesday.
British director Oliver Krimpas’ “Ghost in the Machine” was the one of the films.
The film is about Noreen, who lives virtually enslaved on the family farm in northern England and befriends an abandoned 60-year-old talking tractor.
The lineup also included “Interval” by Huseyin Mert Erverdi from Turkey, “Dalia” by Shaxawan Abdulla Qazi from Iraqi Kurdistan and a film from Switzerland.
“Interval” tells the story of a nameless man who is haunted by the destruction of the earthquake, which struck northwestern Turkey on August 17, 1999.
“Dalia” is about the misery of the Kurdish people during the U.S.-led war in Iraq.
Iranian filmmaker Mehdi Jafari’s “Emergency Exit”, which is about a little boy who hooks the first day of school, also went on screen at the center.
“Solar Lamp” directed by Aida Panahandeh and “Carwash” by Afshin Amerian were the other Iranian films of the collection.
