I Am Irani: screening the Film at online Manchester Lift-Off Film Festival 2022
I Am Irani, the short documentary directed by Farhad Irani, is selected in the online Manchester Lift-Off Film Festival 2022 and will be screened live on Vimeo On Demand for one month: 04 April – 02 May 2022. The Film is a Docu-drama (mockumentary) based on the life and story of the Iranian photographer Farhad Irani.
Farhad was born with a rare genetic condition known as Treacher Collins syndrome that was the same for his mother. Treacher Collins is a genetic disorder that affects the development of bones and other tissues within the face – causing an abnormality within the facial structure of the person who has it. Due to his facial abnormality, Farhad was often rejected and mistreated by society. Although TCS has made Farhad stand out all his life, his mindset, attitude, and ability to rise above all challenges are what set him apart and allowed him to face his challenges head-on.”
The Lift-Off Online Festivals is an online event dedicated to bringing new audiences to the indie film market, ending with an annual live screening of the winning films at Pinewood Studios in the UK. I Am Irani will be screened via Vimeo On Demand from 4 April to 02 May 2022, an exceptional online streaming service that is available through Smart TVs, Desktops, and a whole bunch of mobile devices including tablets and phones. The winning projects will be chosen by a combination of votes from online audiences and the official judging panel. The top two voted “audience choice” films, plus jury selections films will go through to the Network Round. The overall winning project in their respective category will receive a physical screening at an upcoming Lift-Off Film Festival.
