The nomination comes as Abedi’s animated piece recently snatched two awards at the 5th Speechless Film Festival in US and the 5th Festival Sayulita in Mexico.
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.
