French festival awards Iranian short film poster
The drama, written and directed by Rasouli and produced by Ali Kalhor, follows the journey of Shirin, a young woman searching for her missing brother. Along the way she encounters “tragic” events that alter her life. The film casts a spotlight on family ties and personal crises through what the director calls a realistic and human lens, IRNA wrote.
The cast includes Pouya Beigi, Rasouli herself, Keyvan Azad, Milad Safavi, Reza Barzan, Amirmansour Monfared and Hamidreza Nouri.
The award comes as Iranian independent cinema continues to gain recognition abroad, often praised for its pared-down storytelling and focus on intimate social themes. Rasouli described the poster launch and the French honor as a milestone, saying it reflects the film’s “spirit and depth.”
