The film’s cinematographer Vahid Biouteh has previously won the same award at Iran’s Nahal Student Short Film Festival.
Daraei’s film participated in a number of national and international events, winning the Best Short Film Award from the 25th Religion Today Festival in Italy.
Daraei’s film is about Reyhaneh, a young woman who was behind her baby’s death.
As she looks for a way to bury the baby in the absence of her runaway husband, she faces hardships, a synopsis for the film reads.
The festival is organized by Dhaka University Film Society (DUFS) in association with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
The festival “aspires to promote and inspire the work of university-going filmmakers with the slogan: ‘Take Your Camera, Frame Your Dream’.”
