TEHRAN (IFILM) --
Iranian documentary ‘ISATIS’ has received a nomination at the Earth Futures Festival (EFF).
‘ISATIS’, directed by Alireza Dehqan, was named finalist in the EFF’s Media Professionals category.
‘ISATIS’ is a poetic documentary on a portion of Iran’s culture narrated by four elements of nature.
“A story of the hands of the people who turned soil into elixir... and reached from nonexistence to existence. An old story of the true value of water... A story of a town with all its vicissitudes that has been shining like agate in the heart of the dry and barren soil of the desert. A story of the kind dialogue between religions and the scent of faith narrated by water, wind, earth and fire,” a synopsis for the film reads.
The Earth Futures Festival is “an international film and video festival”, the event’s website reads. It “aims to raise international awareness of the role of Earth Science (geoscience) in our sustainable future”.
It takes place “throughout September and October 2022 that will culminate with in-person screening and awards events hosted in New York City, Paris and Sydney”.
