Persian Film Festival (23-26 Feb 2012; Sydney) [06.02.2012]
Persian International Film Festival is a cultural film event that will bring together screen stories of diverse global Persian communities to Sydney from 23rd to the 26th of February 2012, with ongoing programs and forums throughout the year. It is a one of a kind festival that will showcase films from Iran, Afghanistan, and Tajikistan, and from the global Persian community across the globe to celebrate their similarities, diversities and complexities through film for both Persian and Australian audiences.
The festival aims to be a leader in shifting views and misperceptions in Australia by creating spaces for and supporting new and alternative voices of Persian-Australians by being a forum for dialogue between and amongst Persian communities.
To represent a diversity of the cross-section of Persian communities both in their home countries and across the globe, Persian International Film Festival will screen films of various genres and lengths created by those of Persian background, or those in which a key creative, such as writers, producer, or director is of Persian descent.
So, if you are a filmmaker of Persian background, submit your film to be considered for screening in Sydney, and a chance to win exciting prizes during the festival.
At Persian International Film Festival we also want to create discussion between people with varying expertise, opinions and ideas on the cinema and culture of the region. So, if you have anything to say, email us with your original contributions.
Also, don’t forgot to subscribe to our newsletter to keep up to date on all the latest news.
We look forward to seeing you and your movies at the festival!
