Resistance filmfest unveils poster for its 17 edition

Iran's Resistance International Film Festival (RIFF) has unveiled the official poster for the upcoming edition of the event.

The poster for the 17th edition of RIFF was designed by Mohammad Rohalamin, one of Iran’s prominent graphic designers.

It was unveiled during a ceremony on Thursday in the presence of a number of martyrs’ families.

The 17th edition of the biennial festival will take place on March 3-8, 2023 in the southern city of Bandar Abbas.

The upcoming edition of the event will be held on a warship in the Persian Gulf.

Last month, Jalal Ghafari, the secretary of the 17th edition of the event said “We suggested to hold the festival in an important location such as on the deck of Shahid Soleimani warship to deliver an important message to the world”.

The newly unveiled Shahid Soleimani warship is named after Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, who was assassinated by the US military in 2020.

The RIFF, one of the most prestigious international film festivals in Iran, is dedicated to productions on wars and the repercussions of armed conflicts in the world.

It also puts a spotlight on the resistance of the Palestinian people against the Zionist regime, Daesh and their terrorist attacks in the region as well as the world’s tyrants and their backing of Daesh.
