ifilm Exclusive: 30th Tehran International Book Fair

The Tehran International Book Fair is one of the most important cultural events in Iran.

The first time the fair was held was back in 1987. The fair was initially held at Tehran International Permanent Fairground for twenty years.

Later it was hosted by the city’s Grand Prayer Ground (Imam Khomeini Mosalla) to be transferred last year to the Sun City venue which became the permanent home to this cultural gathering.

One of the features the fair has this year is that Latin and Arabic books have been housed in different parts of the venue. 204 Latin and 150 Arabic institutes have taken part in the 2017 edition.
