Event:THE PERSIAN INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

The inaugural Persian International Film Festival will
showcase the rich diversity of filmmaking currently flourishing across
Afghanistan, Iran and Tajikistan and attracting international recognition.



The Festival’s four day program includes six feature films
and a number of shorts from both emerging and multi-award winning
Persian filmmakers. Many of the films are Australian premieres and cover a
range of genres from the deeply dramatic to quirky comedy. To see the full

In tribute to the Iranian Golden Globe® Award winning
and Oscar® nominated director Asghar Farhadi, the Festival will include a
special screening of his internationally acclaimed film A SEPARATION;
Iran’s nomination for the 2012 Oscars®.

The Farhadi tribute will continue from March, in
