“The Near Future” is a series of short films that warn people about the consequences of neglecting environmental issues. “The crow flies_کلاغ پر ” is the first piece of this series, which refers to one of the oldest games among Iranians. The game has always been a way to teach and assess children’s understanding of animals from one generation to the next. In “The Near Future,” this game does not make sense as some kids are not in contact with animals anymore and cannot recognize them.
