Fajr Int’l Film Festival Market to be held in Shiraz

The 26th edition of the Fajr International Film Festival Market is to be held in Shiraz on November 28-December 2 on the sidelines of the 43rd Fajr International Film Festival.

“The Film Market takes place alongside the festival and the screening of works, attracting buyers and exhibitors from various countries,” Fatemeh Javahersaz the Director of the Film Market said.

“In this edition, buyers and exhibitors from regional countries, African nations, the Caucasus region, Central Asia, and Southeast Asia will participate,” she added.

“Iranian distributors and cinematic institutions have been invited, and we will host them to the fullest extent possible,” the director noted.

“Following the international standards of film markets worldwide, we have designated booths for both foreign and domestic participants to facilitate negotiations and interactions in a designed environment,” she stated.

“Any date can be close to or coincide with other markets; our festival is no exception. The shift in timing and venue has brought freshness to this event for both regular and new market participants,” Javahersaz said.

She also explained that “The timing may overlap or be close to other markets, such as the Asia TV Forum & Market in Singapore, which occurs two days after our festival market, or the American Film Market held in November. This is common practice in international festivals.”

The 43rd edition of the Fajr International Film Festival will take place in Shiraz on November 26-December 3.
