Government film festivals finally have a permanent secretariat / based in Farabi

According to Fars News Agency, by the order of Mohammad Khazaei, the head of the Cinema Organization, the permanent secretariat of all state film festivals will be formed in the Farabi Cinema Foundation.

At present, each of the Fajr Film Festivals, Children and Adolescents Films, Haghighat Cinema and Tehran Short Film has its own secretariat, which is often inactive throughout the year.

With this order, Farabi is obliged to support the Fajr International Film Festival and other film festivals in the country.

In Farabi’s future plans, it is necessary for this institution, in cooperation with the Cinema Organization, to establish a central secretariat for the festivals, and this secretariat will be located in Farabi.

In addition to supporting festivals, the secretariat will be responsible for creating a comprehensive archive system and integrating film festival services.

In different periods of management in the deputy and the cinema organization, the issue of forming a permanent and centralized secretariat of state film festivals was raised and demanded but not realized.
