The Best Editor award of the April edition of 3rd Bucharest ShortCut Cinefest went to Esmaeil Alizadeh for his editing of the Iranian short film ‘Are You Volleyball?!’, directed by Mohammad Bakhshi.
‘Are You Volleyball?!’ narrates the story of a group of Arabian spoken asylum seekers who arrive to an English-spoken country border and can't keep going. They come into conflict with border soldiers every day until a deaf-mute child becomes a catalyst for better communication between two groups.
Bucharest ShortCut Cinefest is a monthly film competition focusing on international independent cinema. The event aims to “support new filmmakers and to promote the research and development of new means of expressivity through cinematography as art among diverse audiences.”
