TEHRAN (IFILM) -- Iranian animated short film ‘The Statue’ has been named a runner-up at the Earl’s Court International Film Festival in the United Kingdom.
‘The Statue’, directed by Mohsen Salehifard, was named a runner-up at the 8th edition of the festival, along with four films from Australia, Croatia, Switzerland and the UK.
The short is about a sculptor who has difficulty in making his statues.
