Iranian movie \u201cThe Fourth Wall\u201d scored one more honor by winning the best experimental short film award at the Monstra-Lisbon Animation Festival in Portugal, the organizers announced last week.<\/p>\n

Directed by Mahbubeh Kalai, the film is about a stuttering boy who transforms an Iranian kitchen into a fantastic cosmos. The father\u2019s body becomes a refrigerator, the mother\u2019s belly a washing machine whose spin cycle gives birth to a screaming baby. Even birds on tiles and detergents have a surprising life of their own.<\/p>\n

This exuberant animation, dotted with real-life elements \u2013 fried eggs, broken plates, pieces of cheese \u2013 develops a subtle wit, ironizing ingrained family patterns.<\/p>\n

The movie produced at the Documentary, Experimental and Animation Film Center has previously received the Mephisto 97.6 Award for the best animated film at DOK Leipzig, Germany\u2019s major international festival for documentary and animated films.<\/p>\n

The 31st edition of Animafest Zagreb, a Croatian international festival for animated films, also honored the film with the Zlatko Grgic Award.<\/p>\n

In the Monstra short films competition, the Grand Prix went to \u201cBestia\u201d by Hugo Covarrubias from Chile.<\/p>\n

In its statement, the jury said, \u201cThis film displays an extraordinary visual style, an unforgettable character design and a soundtrack in complete symbiosis with the atmosphere. It addresses a powerful political topic in a subtle, visceral and disturbing manner.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Grand Prix in the Monstrinha Competition was given to \u201cThe Secret of Mr. Nostoc\u201d by French directors Patrice Seiler and Maxime Marion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe inventiveness with which he reuses materials makes Mr. Nostoc a deeply altruistic and humanizing character, at the service of a world of fantasy and magic,\u201d the jury commented.<\/p>\n

In this category, \u201cStars in the Rain\u201d, another Iranian movie by Sara Namju, was awarded an honorable mention.<\/p>\n

It follows passengers on a train who see a boy boarding on a rainy day. His presence is like a brief miracle.<\/p>\n

Polish director Mariusz Wilczynski\u2019s movie \u201cKill It and Leave This Town\u201d won the Grand Prix in the feature films competition.<\/p>\n

This prize \u201cis given to this film for the deep dive into subconsciousness and memories realized in artistic animation and drawings,\u201d the jury said. \/T.T\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
