The Iranian Film Festival Australia

11-14 October

For the last 20 years one of the most exciting national cinemas has been that of Iran. With its recent Oscar for A Separation, and a host of other awards around the globe, it has re-enforced its position as a national cinema of major significance, despite its position as a major site of conflict within Iranian politics and the often difficult circumstances under which Iranian filmmakers operate.

This second edition of Iranian Film Festival Australia, now nation-wide, showcases the best of 2011 and 2012 in all its diversity. An exciting mix of dramas and comedies, it features the best and most interesting of contemporary Iran’s established and new directors, and with many of its major actors.

Presented with the support of P4, Griffith Film School and the Iranian Society of Queensland.

Programmed by and with special thanks to Anne Demy-Geroe and Armin Miladi.
