Noghreh
Director: Donya Madani
More than a hundred million children around the world are in Child labour. Some Iranian officials say there more than a thousand working children in this country. Their families sell them in exchange for money or drugs. This movie is about a story of one of these children we might come across their stories on the crime page of a newspaper. We might see them on the streets, wiping windshields or selling flowers but we might have never felt the tragedy they go through.

Vasomotor Rhinitis
Directors:
The film's central theme is the condescending attitude of a simple civil servant towards high-ranking government officials. The short film was based on Anton Chekhov's "Death of a Civil Servant" story. The film's main character, a man, sneezes in a concert hall and puts a high-ranking official in an embarrassing situation. Despite apologizing, the main character feels a slavish fear that ultimately proves fatal to the man's life.
