Ammar Popular Film Festival accepting submissions

The Ammar Popular Film Festival has been accepting submissions for its 10th edition, the secretariat of the event has announced.

The call for entries opened on Sunday and is set to close on Tuesday, November 26, 2019.

Fiction films, documentaries, animated films and music videos from Iran and other countries can participate at the festival.

Applicants can register for the 2019 edition of the festival via AmmarFilm.ir. They have until November 28, 2019 to submit their works to the secretariat.

The Ammar Popular Film Festival goes against the promotion of “individualism and extreme enjoyment without caring about the society's troubles and other humans’ suppression,” the event’s official website reads.

The festival aims “to raise real awareness and responsibility among the general public,” the website adds, noting that the event’s mission is to create an atmosphere in which independent filmmakers and thinkers can gather together.
