Directed by Saman Hosseinpour and Ako Zandkarimi, known as SamKo brothers, “Congenital” was screened in the festival taking place in the Czech Republic.
The festival started 1961 and is considered a pioneer event in children’s film industry.
Congenital is a daring proposal of defiance of social expectations. It treats its thematic concerns with a notable visual sensitivity and reference to the fine-art traditions that are native to the millennia-old cultures of the Middle East, the jury said in a statement on “Congenital”.
“Exsanguination” and “The Other” are the other two films made by SamKo brothers that have attended many international festivals, winning several awards.
