About this Event
CHILD (Irish Premiere) | Silk Road International Film Festival
Description
IRISH PREMIERE, Luxembourg’s official submission for Best International Feature Film at the 99th Academy Awards
CHILD
Dir. Cyrus Neshvad | Luxembourg | 2026 | 78 min
English, French, Luxembourgish and Russian, with English subtitles
From the Oscar-nominated director of The Red Suitcase.
To save their dying son, a father follows his wife on a mysterious journey where instinct eclipses morality, and the promise of life reveals the monstrous edge of a parent’s love.
Luxembourg-based director Cyrus Neshvad, of Iranian origin, has made a realistic horror film with no supernatural monster. The horror comes from us: from privilege, from what wealthy nations take from the vulnerable, and from love itself.
Screening as part of the 14th Silk Road International Film Festival.
