The 17th edition of the Damascus International Film Festival has awarded an Iranian feature-length production directed by Abdolreza Kahani.
Twenty won the festival's silver award during a ceremony held at the Damascus Culture and Art Center.
The 88-minute film is about a reception hall's staff, who fear for their jobs after the owner decides to sell the place in twenty days.
The psychological drama made its international debut at the 2009 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival after participating in numerous national festivals and being awarded at Iran's third International Urban Film Festival.
Abdolreza Kahani began his film career at the age of 15 and made his first short film, The Smile in 1988.
Empty Hands, Dance with the Moon, Adam and Over There are Kahani's other productions. Over There has received the Golden Alexander award of the Thessaloniki festival.
The 2009 Damascus film festival granted its gold and bronze awards to South Korea's Treeless Mountain and Morocco's Black House respectively.
