20 Angosht, released in English-speaking markets as 20 Fingers, is a 2004 Iranian film directed by Mania Akbari. It stars the director and co-lead Bijan Daneshmand as a couple discussing their relationship and arguing, shot in several long takes on a DV camera.

Due to the film dealing with controversial topics such as divorce and homosexuality, the film is yet to receive permission to be shown uncut in its native country. However it has achieved mild international success, winning Best Digital Film at the Venice Film Festival in 2004, where it was premiered.
