Opening ceremony of Ammar fest

Here is a pictorial report of the opening ceremony of the 12th Ammar Film Festival in Tehran.

The opening ceremony was held at Andisheh Hall of the Art Bureau on Saturday.

Nader Talebzadeh, Secretary of the Festival, and several cultural-artistic figures attended the event.

The event was opened by screening Behrouz Afkhami’s movie which is a biopic about Imam Khomeini.

Established by a number of Iranian revolutionary figures, the Ammar Popular Film Festival has been named after Ammar Yasir, a close companion of Prophet Muhammad [PBUH].

The Ammar film festival goes against the promotion of “individualism and extreme enjoyment without caring about the society's troubles”, the website of the event reads.

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

The films participating in the festival are available for the audience to watch at Felestin Cinema in Tehran. The films are also available online on Ammaryar.ir.
