TEHRAN (Iran News) –Iranian documentary film “Daughter” (also known as Destiny) directed by Yaser Talebi won the Best Foreign Short Film award from the Copenhagen Short Film Festival in Denmark.
In a small conservative town in Iran a vulnerable man has lost his wife. His daughter, an intelligent 18-year-old, would love to continue her education. They live together and get on very well, but their relationship is not the easiest. She is expected to be obedient, take care of the aging father and give up her university plans in exchange for a quick marriage, while a new wife is being sought for him. Sarah is not very fond of the idea as no one can replace her late mom.
The Copenhagen Short Film Festival is the only short films festival in Copenhagen, focusing exclusively on short films of all genres and formats.
Copenhagen Short Film Festival was created in 2012, and had its first edition in 2013 at Husets Biograf (an art house cinema in Copenhagen).
Yaser Talebi has already managed to win the Silver Dragon for the director of the best documentary of the 63st Krakow Film Festival in Poland.
It had also won the Best Foreign Film Award at the 9th Peloponnese International Documentary Festival in Greece.
