Audience picks: five best films of Fajr 2019

During the past eight days of film screenings, audiences have picked their favorites at the 37th edition of the Fajr Film Festival (FFF).

Viewers voted to ‘Takhti, the World Champion’, ‘6.5 per Meter’, ‘The Warden’, ‘Midday Event: Trace of Blood 2’, and ‘Night of the Full Moon’.

The movie with the highest number of votes will receive the Audience Award at the closing ceremony of the festival.

The festival coincides with the Ten-Day Fajr ceremonies across Iran, marking the 40th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution.

Since its establishment in 1982, the FFF has played a vital role in the development of Iranian Cinema.

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

The 37th edition of the FFF kicked off on January 30, 2019, and will run until February 11 in Tehran.
