140 films picked for screening in 100-second filmfest

A batch of 140 films has been selected to be just screened at the latest edition of International 100-Second Films Festival in Iran.

A total of 99 works will just be featured at the main (national) section of the event while 41 others were selected for the ‘Experience Route’ of the festival. The 140 films have no chance to remain in the competitive section of the event.

Both sections of the festival include three sections of animation, fiction and documentary.

The Call for the latest edition of the vent read, “100-sec film is a full video with all the characteristics of a feature film based on the two elements of brevity and creativity; it is not a teaser, not a music video nor a partial feature film. The filmmaker is to tell a story that has a beginning, middle and end and can affect the audience.”

The festival runs on February 22-24 and each year, hundreds of short films are selected for the festival from among 2,000 films that are submitted to the event's secretariat.
