Iran 100-sec filmfest to start in Tehran

The 11th International 100-sec Film Festival is scheduled to kick off on Wednesday in Tehran.

The event will screen films from Iran and 27 other countries from around the globe.

The secretariat of the festival announced that the festival concentrates on morals and lifestyle.

Some 400 short films will be screened in two days and the festival will wrap up on Friday, February 24.

A batch of 140 films has been selected to be 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.
