Over 1600 films submit for Resistance

More than 1600 movies have requested to attend the 15th edition of the Resistance International Film Festival (RIFF) in Iran.

About 700 flicks from Iran are to attend the national section of the event, while more than 900 titles from 78 countries around the world have requested to take part at the international section.

The RIFF is regarded as one of the most prestigious international film festivals in Iran, the official website of the event wrote.

The goal of the Festival is to create an atmosphere of dialogue, understanding of current human sufferings, and to share experiences and new ideas. The three-fold mission is to:

1. Create an atmosphere of dialogue by recognizing activists and filmmakers.

2. Foster the human spirit of brotherhood, peace, and resisting oppression.

3. Use the language of film to fight terrorism and violence.

The RIFF is established to explain the “Islamic Revolution Discourse”, as well as the theoretical and conceptual framework of the world's most prestigious religious and ideological revolution.

The 15th edition of the event is slated for December 2018.
