Iran’s globetrotting ‘Anita, Lost in the News’ awarded in US
The film, which has been making the rounds at global film festivals, has now picked up six international awards, including the Audience Award at the 6th Rising of Lusitania – AnimaDoc Film Festival from September 10 to 23 in Łódź, Poland, IRNA reported.
‘Anita, Lost in the News’ tells the story of a Kurdish-Iranian family of four who lost their lives in the sinking of a migrant boat in the English Channel in 2020. The film is created using puppets made from newspaper clippings.
Nalbandi’s latest triumph builds on his previous success, with his earlier film ‘The Unseen’ having already won several awards at film festivals around the world. His name is cropping up again on the international scene, with ‘Anita, Lost in the News’ picking up another accolade to add to his collection.
