Two Iranian animations to vie at Italian Cartoon Club

The Iranian short animation ‘Stars in the Rain,’ directed by Sara Namjoo, and ‘Jake,’ directed by Iman Lotfian, are slated to participate in the Cartoon Club – International Festival of Animation Cinema, Comics and Games.

The 37th edition of the festival will take place from July 15-25 in Rimini, Italy, Mehr News Agency wrote.

On a rainy day, passengers of a train witness a boy who brings light back to their world with his little miracles, the synopsis of ‘Stars in the Rain’ reads.

‘Jake’ depicts the story of a number of chickens who have become strangers to each other because they have been dyed and are now facing each other.

This cinematic event is one of the best-known festivals in the Italian scene. It is a remarkable window for animation works, short films in particular – fiction, educational, experimental, computer graphic – and with a whole section solely dedicated to comics and games.
