Elaheh Nobakht to join Religion Today festival as jury member

Religion Today Film Festival in Italy has chosen Iranian filmmaker Elaheh Nobakht as a jury member.

Nobakht was also a member of jury panel at the Mena Film Festival The Hague.

As an active member of the Iranian Producers Association (IPA) and co-producer of ‘Holy Bread’, Nobakht was selected for the IDFA competition for mid-films in 2020.

Nobakht, who is also the director of ELI Image, an international film production and distribution company, is the distributor of the film ‘Finding Farideh’, a co-production between Iran and the Netherlands, which was Iran’s submission to the Oscars in 2020.

Religion Today is an international and itinerant film festival dedicated to religious diversity for a culture of peace and interfaith dialogue. It promotes a journey “exploring the differences”, both in religious practices and beliefs and in cinematic styles and languages, towards a mutual enrichment through reciprocal knowledge and comparison.

The 24th edition of Religion Today aims to promote a conscious and non-rhetorical knowledge of the religions considering the theme of "Travel and Pilgrimage," which belongs to many religions.

The upcoming edition will take place on September 22-29.
