Displaying "The Crab", an Animation, International Kurzfilmtage Winterthur, Switzerland

The short animation, "The Crab" directed by Shiva Saadegh Asadi, is displayed in the 30th Short Film Festival International Kurzfilmtage Winterthur next to other works from Iran Cinema in Switzerland.

According to Kanoon General Directorate for Public Relations and International Affairs, this animation, a Kanoon product focusing on lesser-seen human experiences and themes like individual differences, social acceptance and human dignity is going to be screened on November 6 and 7, 2026 in Winterthur at Kino Cameo, Switzerland. The ten-minute and forty-six-second animation called "The Crab" is the story of a shy withdrawn boy who is interested in joining the school theater group.
