Persia Film is pleased to present the Second Iranian International Films Festival in Canada. The main objective of this Festival is to showcase the work of young Iranian directors, who wants to have their voices heard through art in general and films in particular.
This Festival will take place at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts from September 20 to September 25, 2010. Tickets are available for the opening night ceremony, each screening, a seminar/press conference, and the closing ceremony.
This event is one of the largest cultural events of its kind. The Festival will introduce Canadian audiences to the richness and diversity of films made by young Iranian filmmakers. The main objective of the festival is creating opportunities for the skilful and young Iranian filmmakers who, without reasonable access to equipment, latest technology and internet have been successful in winning a number of prestigious awards.
Over the past three years more than 300 films have been made by professional young filmmakers (Vs. amateur filmmakers) and submitted to the Festival’s Administration Committee. All of the films have English subtitles and are categorized in different genres such as documentary, fiction, animation, experimental, etc.
The Festival is competitive and the Jury Committee, which is comprised of some of the strongest Iranian cinematologists, producers, directors and actors, will be involved in the Festival. The “Golden Prizes” will be awarded to various categories of the films.
Since Canada is the land of various cultures and nationalities and considering the attention paid to the Iranian art and cinema and the fact that thousands of Iranian live in Canada, Canada will be the permanent location for this Festival and the Iranian-Canadian filmmakers will also have a great opportunity to be involve in this large cultural event.
