Tehran – The Iranian short film “Ramie” is written and directed by Puyan Rostami and produced by Kasla Tilsahar, and will premiere the world at the 2025 Sid-dependent Film Festival in Cincinnati, Ohio, which will take place from September 18th to 20th.
The 10-minute film takes place in the heart of the forest. There, a group of women carry cops on their shoulders, and sad women chase after them, crying and screaming. Unmoved by her cry, the woman proceeded towards the cemetery, the IRNA reported.
Salah Saki, Hala Pakisel and Ramin Yahiyazadeh perform in films representing Iranian independent films.
