With the motto for this year’s festival being “The Future is Constructible”, the event will be divided into two sections of “Stage Storytelling” and “90-second Story(Film)”, to be held in December of this year.

The “Stage Storytelling” section of the festival will consist of a national and international competition.

Volunteers from various countries along with a selection of winners from previous festivals and professional narrators will be eligible to participate in the festival’s international competition.

A portion of the “Stage Storytelling” will be dedicated to classical and traditional storytelling and another portion will be dedicated to modern and innovative storytelling.

Storytellers interested in participating in the event’s international competition have until September 8, 2019 to register and submit a film of their stories at the festival’s website www.kanoonfest.ir.
