Iran’s 19th Cinema Verite unveils poster

The Iran International Documentary Film Festival Cinema Verite has unveiled a poster for its 19th edition in Tehran.

The secretary of the festival Mohammad Hamidi-Moqaddam said the consistent colors in recent years, after 2019 and following the artistic direction of Reza Abedini, have been green and orange; colors and designs that, over time, have become identifiers of the Cinema Verite.

“This year, while preserving those colors and that identity, we sought to create a fresh visual atmosphere. The collaboration of Bahram Kalhornia helped shape this new space and move toward a new experience,” he added.

“The festival needed to experience renewal and open a new window to the world and to the concepts of documentary cinema. This has taken shape in the poster through the collaboration with Master Bahram Kalhornia,” Hamidi-Moqaddam also noted.

Bahram Kalhornia, 73, is a veteran drawing artist, sculptor, graphic designer, painter, researcher, and educator in the field of art.

The Iran International Documentary Film Festival Cinema Verite is organized by the Documentary & Experimental Film Center (DEFC).

The festival tries to express the relationship between reality and truth through documentary films.

The 19th edition of the festival will be held on December 10-17 in Tehran.
