Program
The Iranian Film Festival has a diverse program consisting of films, documentaries, short films, video-clips, children's movies and animation. The festival also organizes discussions with the directors of the films, talk-shows, music performances and photo-exhibitions.
Examples of films and documentaries that were shown during the festival in the past years are: Children of Heaven (Majid Majidi, 1997), “Nose, Iranian Style“ (Mehrdad Oskouei, 2005), “It’s Always Late for Freedom” (Mehrdad Oskouei, 2006), “Navel” (Mohammad Shirvani, 2004), "Do you have another apple?" (Bayram Fazli, 2006), Persepolis (Marjane Satrapi / Vincent Paronnaud, 2007).
Some films that were part of the program have been a matter of controversy in Iran, like 20 Fingers (Mania Akbari, 2004) and "Mainline" (Rakhshan Bani-Etemad and Moshen Abdolvahab, 2006).
