Ammar filmfest to wrap up

The official closing ceremony for the 8th edition of the Ammar International Popular Film Festival will be held on Friday January 5, 2018, in the Iranian capital city of Tehran.

The closing ceremony for the festival is to be held in presence of several prominent Iranian and international cineastes at Bahman Cultural Center in Tehran.

The Ammar Popular Film Festival goes against promotion of “individualism and extreme enjoyment without caring about the society's troubles and other human suppression,” the event’s official website noted.

The festival also enjoys an international version (AIPFF), which aims “to raise real awareness and responsibility among the general public,” the AIPFF website read, adding, "the event’s mission is to create an atmosphere in which independent filmmakers and thinkers can gather together."
