Iranian director bags Akbank Short Film Fest award

Akbank Short Film Festival was held for the first time in 2004. It has developed further over the years into one of the leading arts and cultural events in Istanbul with an increasingly diverse program.

The festival aims to encourage short film production, deliver the films to audiences, support new filmmakers, champion short films internationally, provide a debate platform for short film within a festival culture and establish a festival for cinema-lovers to enjoy.
