In Tehran Events Guide I`m introducing exhibitions, movies (in English, of course), concerts, festivals and other happenings that might interest you so that you won`t have to check multiple websites to decide where to go at the weekend! This weekend is going to be packed with interesting events happening in Tehran!
Featured Events
I almost missed Cinema Verite Festival which is another name for Iran International Documentary Film Festival. It started on December 4 and on December 11 the winners will be announced. Just like Short Film Festival, it is held in a great venue at the heart of Tehran - Charsou Cineplex with 5 cinema halls. The entrance is completely FREE, so don`t miss a chance to see a movie or two!
The schedule of the Festival screenings can be found here. Also, take a closer look at Special Screenings every day at 11 pm - there are a few significant films.
My pick - Lo and Behold: Reveries of the Connected World (a 2016 documentary directed by Werner Herzog).
I can`t promise, but I suppose that even Iranian films will be screened with English subtitles, so you can give films from National Selection a try.
My picks: One kilogram of fly wings (about mehrie in Iran)
Live, River (about Zayandeh-rood in Isfahan)
Kerman Documentary Cinema
Address: Charsou Cineplex at Jomhoori-Hafez crossroad
