Fajr Filmfest to honor Qolam-Reza Mousavi

The 35th Fajr Film Festival is set to commemorate prominent Iranian producer Qolam-Reza Mousavi.

Screenwriter Farhad Tohidi, cinematographer Toraj Mansouri and actor Mohammad Kasebi will be also honored during the prestigious cinematic event.

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.
