Alphabet, Iranian short animation, has been accepted into the screening program of the 10th edition of Ortigia International Film Festival.

The Festival will be held from July 9 to 15 in Italy. The 6-minute animated piece ‘Alphabet’, directed by Kianoush Abedi, narrates the story of people who have forgotten life and are separated from knowledge and truth. The animation depicts a nation that has forgotten the alphabet to life, cannot see, cannot hear, and cannot speak, but the words are waiting for them impatiently.

The animation has screened in numerous film festivals and received two awards at the 5th Speechless Film Festival in US and the 5th Festival Sayulita in Mexico.
