The Iran Cultural Fairs Institute has scheduled to hold a festival of Iranian films during the Beijing International Book Fair (BIBF) in China.

A number of most celebrated Iranian movies, including the Oscar-winning drama ‘The Salesman’ directed by Asghar Farhadi, will go on screen during the festival, the Iranian institute announced on Wednesday.

The BIBF will take place on August 23-27, 2017, and has invited Iran to take part at the event as the guest of honor of the fair.

Iran has selected the motto “Iran, the Colorful Dream of Silk Road” for its participation at the Chinese fair.

BIBF, as one of the major Asian events in the publishing industry, will provide an opportunity for a large number of Iranian publishers to display their latest titles.
