TEHRAN (IFILM) -- Iranian short film ‘Identibye’ has been slated to hit the screen at the Nevada City Film Festival (NCFF) in the U.S.
Sajjad Shahhatami’s 20-minute short film will represent Iran at the 22nd edition of the American event.
“The protagonist of the story faces a dilemma of choosing between sense and sensibility regarding one’s innermost feelings. He has been judged from the very beginning by the ones closest to him. The fear of these never-ending judgments fills him with doubt and he has to work against the clock to achieve his goal as he knows that one’s true identity is what matters most to them”, a synopsis for the film reads.
‘Identibye’ has already taken part in a number of global events, including the Central Florida Film Festival, the Sonoma International Live and Virtual Film Festival, and the Arkansas Shorts - A Night of Short Film, all in the U.S.
Amir-Hossein Sabbaghan, Nasim Moslemi, Maryam Najafi, and Hanan Azizi are the cast members of the flick.
Established in 2001, the NCFF is an independent event for films, music, comedy, which attracts thousands of attendees from around the globe.
This year’s edition of the event is set to be held on August 26-28.
