Iranian short film ‘Dandelions Girl’ selected for Greece’s drama festival
The Oscar-qualifying event, scheduled for September 8–14 in the northern Greek city of Drama, received 3,714 submissions this year.
Only 151 films made the final cut across all sections, including 15 in the KIDDO 2025 competition where ‘Dandelions Girl’ will screen. The festival is one of Europe’s most established platforms for short films.
Produced by Razieh Gholami, ‘Dandelions Girl’ tells the story of a young girl who breaks into the world of football despite setbacks. Through a symbolic lens, it explores the clash between truth and deception and celebrates the resilience and honesty of the younger generation. “She throws the balance off just by standing her ground,” the synopsis reads.
Tara Soroush, Beniam Afrangheh, and Abdollah Bahadori star in the film.
International distribution is handled by AtoZinema, led by Masihzadeh.
