US filmfest awards Iranian 'Solitude'

Iran's Solitude directed by Mehrdad Sheikhan has been awarded at the 2010 Tiburon International Film Festival in the US.

The 10-minute animation shared the event's Best Short Animation Award with American filmmaker Michael Z. Huber's Offering.

Solitude recounts the story of a stone monster, living a lonely life on his barren stone planet.

Sheikhan's production has won numerous international awards, including the Best Animation Award of Italy's Malescorto International Short Film Festival for its balance between cinematographic style and technology and for the strong philosophical and existential message it conveys.

It has also been awarded at Italy's 2008 Matita Film Festival and screened at Spain's Marbella International Film Festival and Greece's Animasyros International Animation Festival.

The 9th annual Tiburon International Film Festival was held from March 18 to 26, 2010 in Tiburon, north of San Francisco.
