Directed by Abbas Ghazali, the Iranian short film “Smile of the Mask” is scheduled to be screened at the US Cinequest Film Festival.

Being Ghazali’s third short film, Smile of the Mask is about the bitter social issue of acid spraying and the smiles hidden behind the victim’s masks.

The Cinequest Film & Creativity Festival is an annual independent film festival held each March in San Jose, California and Redwood City, California. The international festival combines the cinematic arts with Silicon Valley’s innovation. /MNA/
