In the Orizzonti Short Films category, “Staircase” by Mohsen Banihashemi will be competing with 13 other movies.
“Brick and Mirror”, UK-based Iranian filmmaker Ebrahim Golestan’s 1964 drama is scheduled to go on screen in the Venezia Classic, a section dedicated to restored classics from world cinema.
