251 works request to attend 38th Fajr Int’l filmfest

More than 250 works have requested to attend the 38th edition of the Fajr International Film Festival (FIFF) in Iran.

The secretariat of the FIFF has announced that producers of 251 films have filled the application form to take part in the 38th edition of the event.

The enteries include 154 short films, 68 feature films, and 29 documentaries.

Last year’s edition of the event was expected to be held in June 2020 instead of April due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the organizers called it off.

The national version of the festival was held in February.

The Fajr Film Festival coincides with the Ten-Day Fajr (Dawn) ceremonies across Iran, marking the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Since its establishment in 1982, the Fajr Film Festival has played a vital role in the development of Iranian Cinema.

Supervised by Iran’s Ministry of Culture, the festival hosts veteran directors and new filmmakers from Iran every year.
