Fajr Filmfest names 'Promotional Items' jurors

The 35th edition of Fajr Film Festival has announced the jury members of the ‘Promotional Items’ section of the festival.

Hossein Jafarian, Saed Meshki, Javad Jalali, Jila Ipkchi and Behrouz Shoeibi were announced as members of the jury.

Fajr Festivals are annually held in Iran during the Fajr Decade (literally meaning ten days of dawn) which marks the anniversary of the ten days from the return of Imam Khomeini, founder of the Islamic Republic, to Iran (February 1) until the victory day of the Islamic Revolution (February 11) in 1979.

Established in 1982, Fajr Film Festival is an event that celebrates cultural exchange, displays creative achievements of highly acclaimed cineastes and pays tribute to local and international films.

Since its establishment, Fajr International Film Festival has played a vital role in the development of the Iranian Cinema.

Supervised by Iran’s Ministry of Culture, the festival hosts veteran directors and new filmmakers from Iran and across the world every year.
