Festival of Films from Iran

Co-presented with the Smithsonian's Freer Gallery of Art

Iranian filmmakers continue to create culturally vital and innovative films despite daunting challenges. This annual series provides a look at both the latest films from Iran and selected classics, which this year includes retrospectives dedicated to filmmakers Shahram Mokri and two-time Oscar winner Asghar Farhadi, whose latest film A HERO opened January 7 at AFI Silver.

The Freer Galley of Art will present selected films online via the museum's video-on-demand platform beginning January 14; all films screening at AFI Silver starting February 4 will be presented at the theatre for in-person attendance.

This festival is made possible by the generous support of the ILEX Foundation.
