59 Int’l movies to vie at 100-sec filmfest

Some 59 movies from 28 various countries are to vie at Iran’s 100-second International Film Festival.

The secretariat of the festival chose 59 films from among 1562 received works from 101 countries for the competition section.

A batch of 140 films has been selected to be just screened at the competition and non-competition section of the latest edition of International 100-Second Films Festival in Iran.

The Call for the latest edition of the event reads, “100-sec film is a full video with all the characteristics of a feature film based on the two elements of brevity and creativity; it is not a trailer, not a music video nor a partial feature film. The filmmaker is to tell a story that has a beginning, middle and end and can affect the audience.”

The festival runs on February 22-24. Every year, hundreds of short films are selected for the festival from among 2,000 films that are submitted to the event's secretariat.
