TEHRAN, Sep. 28 (MNA) – Iranian Animation Documentary ‘The Unseen’ directed by Behzad Nalbandi, has been nominated for best film animation award at the International Animated Film Festival (ANIMATOR ) in Poland.

The men are released after a few days but the women are kept as wards of the state in perpetuity.

‘The Unseen’ has taken part in the 35th International Documentary Film Festival Munich in Germany and 60th edition of Krakow Film Festival (KFF) in Poland, as well as Transilvania International Film Festival in Romania.
