The Hole - Vasid Nasirian

The first Iranian animation I have seen, only around 5 minutes long but it effectively puts across a message about drugs. Rough but uniquely stylish, shows the pleasure, addiction and self destruction that opium can bring.

I assume that there must be a large problem with drugs in Iran although it's not something you hear about or that has come across in any film I've seen.

If this is a typical example of animation from Iran then I would love to see more, I was surprised at the quality and style of it. 

Recommended as an example of film from Iran and as a great example of animation.

Cheers Trev. 

Shown as part of the CinemaIran season on Channel 4 in the UK.
