Taste of berry-trailer | Ahmad Seyedkeshmiri

Short Fiction Inspired by Abbas Kiarostami’s masterpiece Taste of Cherry, Taste of Berry tells the story of a young man who attempts suicide before sunrise. He climbs a tree, seeking an end to his suffering, but the tree itself becomes a silent witness and perhaps a turning point in his fate. This short fiction film explores themes of despair, resilience, and the fragile line between death and rebirth, paying homage to Kiarostami’s poetic cinema while offering a new perspective on human vulnerability. - Winner – World Category – Cibo Corto Film Festival, Italy (2019) - Winner – Best Photography – Cibo Corto Film Festival, Italy (2019) - Winner – Best Editing – Cibo Corto Film Festival, Italy (2019) - Winner – No Budget Spirit – Indie Film Awards (2018) - Nominee – Best Story – Indie Film Awards (2018) - Nominee – Best Writing – Indie Film Awards (2018) - Finalist – GEOFILMFESTIVAL, Italy (2019) - Semi-Finalist – Afroca Films For Impact Festival (2019) - Semi-Finalist – Los Angeles CineFest (2019) - Official Selection – Corto e a Capo Film Festival, Italy (2019) - Official Selection – Intimalente Lens Film Festival, Italy (2019) - Official Selection – Venice Lagoon Wave Film Festival, Italy (2024) - Official Selection – Mallu Film Market, India (2019) - Official Selection – Festival del Cinema di Castel Volturno, Italy (2019) - Official Selection – Ancient Way Film Festival (2020) - Official Selection – Rural Affinity Film Festival (RAFFA), Andalucia, Spain (2021) - Official Selection – Lisbon Film Rendezvous – Winter Edition, Portugal (2019) - Official Selection – Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival – Jury Review, Mumbai, India (2019) - Official Selection – Pop Corn Festival del Corto, Italy (2019) - Official Selection – New Wave Motion Film Festival (2019) - Official Selection – TUFF-MT Film Festival (2019) - Official Selection – GEOFilm Festival, Italy (2020) - Official Selection – Corti Festival, Italy (2019) - Official Selection – Max Sir International Film Festival, Italy (2024)
