One of the New View chapters featured the online screening of the short film “Cover”, directed by Vahid Alvandifar, along with an episode of discussion between the filmmaker and Shahab Hosseini.

This film narrates the story of Ahmad, a simple villager, whose lifeless body suddenly comes back to life and avoids returning to his previous life.

“Cover” won the Best Screenplay award at the Reaktor International Film Festival in Austria. The jury’s statement mentioned their enjoyment of the film’s dark humor, noting that Viennese audiences are familiar with this style of comedy.
