Celebrated Iranian filmmaker Narges Abyar has been set to join the jury panel at the 25th edition of the Religion Today Film Festival in Italy.

The Iranian movies ‘The Dream of a Horse’, ‘Surviving Fortress’, ‘19’, ‘The Peach’, ‘Cylinder’, and ‘Graveyard’ will compete in different sections at this edition of the Religion Today.

“Religion Today has been the foremost international and itinerant film festival dedicated to cinema and religions for a culture of peace and dialogue between faiths, cultures, peoples and individuals,” the organizers say.

The 25th edition of the festival will take place in Trento, Bolzano, Rome, Venice and Marina di Camerota on September 14-21, 2022.

Abyar is director of some acclaimed movies, including ‘Track 143’, ‘Breath’ and ‘When the Moon Was Full’.

She is currently in Tatarstan, a semi-autonomous region in southwest Russia, to accompany the jury of the 18th Kazan International Muslim Film Festival.

She has been honored at several international festivals and cultural centers.

Earlier in March, she was honored with the Director Achievement Award at the International Women Filmmakers Festival 2022 in Izmir, Turkey.
