Iran’s ‘The Dragon’s Treasure’ to be screened in German festival
Iranian animation ‘The Dragon’s Treasure,’ directed by Ashkan Rahgozar, will participate in the Work in Progress Section of the Festival of Animated Film Stuttgart in Germany.
The 2023 edition of the event, with the motto “Animation connects!”, will be held from April 25 to 30, IRNA wrote.
The film has already taken part at the Mifa Pitches Section of the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in France.
The animation is about an eight-year-old girl named Sayeh, who goes on an adventure in search of the dragon’s treasure to save her grandmother’s village from drought. But she doesn’t know that the real treasure is water and she must fill up all the aqueducts.
It is a co-production of Hoorakhsh, Rahgozar’s animation studio in Tehran, and Mystic House Production Ltd. based in the Canadian city of Toronto.
Rahgozar’s previous movie ‘The Last Fiction’ was screened in a non-competitive section of the Annecy festival in 2018.
