Watch this Iranian short film: TONIGHT IS NOT A GOOD NIGHT FOR DYING

Here’s a bit of a darker short film for you (certainly compared to the one I shared last week): the Iranian short film Tonight is not a Good Night for Dying (2011), directed by Ali Asgari.

This short is shot from the perspective of a man who just fell from a building. We follow the aftermath of his fall, and the conclusion is fairly shocking. 

tonightThe short participated in quite a few short film festivals, primarily in Europe, but it didn’t win any awards. Nevertheless, I think it’s lovely to see a short film from a country we don’t often see film material from.

What do you think of the way this film was shot? The perspective is quite something else. Please share your thoughts in the comments!
