Online sale for Fajr movie tickets to kick off soon

Online presale of tickets for movies to be featured at Fajr Film Festival in Iran is to begin soon, an offcial attached to the event says.

Mohammad Reza Faraji, an official in charge of cinemas dedicated to featuring Fajr Festival movies told the domestic media that “the online presale of movie tickets for Fajr Festival will start on Friday for Tehran and the same will happen for other Iranian provinces as of Monday.”

The time bracket for the presale will finish on Monday in Tehran.

Fajr Festivals are annually held in Iran during the Fajr Decade (literally meaning ten days of dawn) which marks the anniversary of the ten days from the return of Imam Khomeini, founder of the Islamic Republic, to Iran (February 1) until the victory day of the Islamic Revolution (February 11) in 1979.

Established in 1982, Fajr Film Festival is an event that celebrates cultural exchange, displays creative achievements of highly acclaimed cineastes and pays tribute to local and international films.

Since its establishment, Fajr International Film Festival has played a vital role in the development of the Iranian Cinema.

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

The screenings will last for 12 days from February 4 until February 15.
