57 international docs being screened at Charsou Cineplex

Charsou Cineplex has been set to screen 57 national and international documentaries for the 11th Cinema Verite.

Five theater halls of the Cineplex hosted 57 documentaries from Iran and other countries on the third day of the event.

The 11th edition of the Cinema Verite is aimed at protecting the nation's identity, promoting creative documentary and reinforcing the link between documentary cinema and social facts and events.

The fest also strives to introduce new global developments in documentary cinema, provide financial support for documentarians by distributing and screening their works in other festivals as well as breaking down barriers to film production.

Organized by the Documentary and Experimental Film Center (DEFC), the 11th Cinema Verite kicked off on December 10 in Tehran and will end on December 17, 2017.
