Three films from Iran are present at the 52nd Athens International Film and Video Festival (AIFVF), underway in Athens, Ohio, the United States.<\/p>\n

The animation \u201cIn the Shadow of the Cypress\u201d directed by Hossein Molayemi and Shirin Sohani, the narrative film \u201cSheep\u201d by Hadi Babaeifar, and the experimental film \u201cRazeh Del\u201d by Maryam Tafakory are the three Iranian works participating in the event, IRNA reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the Shadow of the Cypress\u201d won the 2025 Oscar for Best Animated Short Film at the 97th Academy Awards last month.<\/p>\n

The animation depicts a former captain, suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, who lives with his daughter in a humble house located by the sea. Together, they live an isolated life and have to confront the challenges of a harsh life.<\/p>\n

One morning, their lives change forever when an unforeseen event occurs. Whether this event proves to be a newfound source of hope or an additional burden remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

\u201cSheep\u201d shows a little girl who lives with her mother in Tehran. Discovering that the sheep in her neighbors\u2019 backyard are being sacrificed in a traditional ritual, she decides to save as many sheep as she can.<\/p>\n

\u201cRazeh Del\u201d is a joint production of Iran, Italy, and the UK. It is about two girls who sent a letter to the first-ever women’s newspaper in Iran, titled \u201cZan,\u201d in 1998. While they waited to get published, they considered making an impossible film.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1973, the AIFVF has been presenting the best in international film in Athens, Ohio, for 52 years. It is known globally as a festival that supports cinema from underground and marginalized populations. It is a champion of justice and provides a voice for underrepresented artists and viewpoints on a global level.<\/p>\n

For over five decades, the AIFVF has embraced experimental, animated, narrative, and documentary, short-form and feature-length films from every corner of the globe, offering filmmakers a stellar platform for public exposure and an environment that values artistry above marquee names and industry relationships. The festival is recognized by the Academy\u00ae of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as a qualifying festival in the short narrative and short animation categories.<\/p>\n

Launched on April 7, this year\u2019s edition of the festival will conclude on April 13, awarding the winners of various sections. \/T.T\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
