Iranian filmmaker among five int’l judges at Moscow festival
The Iranian filmmaker and instructor, alongside Ivan Tordovski from Russia, Tam Lizba from Brazil, Zhang Hiu from China, and Vidhi Khandlwal from India, will serve as judges and mentors for the festival, IRNA reported.
Nejati is also conducting a workshop titled “Directing for Children and Adolescents” for filmmakers at the festival.
The Creative Cities Festival has accepted works from filmmakers around the world that focus on their hometowns.
The festival is organized by the Moscow Tourism Organization, the School of Art and Design at the Moscow University of Economics, and McGuffin University.
Accepted filmmakers at the festival are set to initiate a collaborative project titled “The Territory of the Future; Moscow 2030.”
This year’s Creative Cities Festival takes place from August 10 to 25 in Moscow.
During the submission phase, 32 films were selected from 294 entries across 12 countries. In the subsequent phase, these films were judged by five judges to ultimately select 10 three-minute films.
Among these films is an Iranian entry directed by Hadi Sheibani, which is about the city of Mashhad, the director’s hometown.
Ten international filmmakers are participating in the festival, pitching their films with the aim of collaboratively creating a film about the city of Moscow (Moscow 2030).
The 2030 project envisions Moscow as a fully electronic and creative city.
