ÍRÁN:CI


With 10 accomplished editions since 2012, ÍRÁN:CI Film Festival has become an indelible part of the cultural calendar in Prague and Brno, and has turned into one of the well-awaited interactive showcases for art and culture lovers across these cities every January.

The festival is focused on the best works of Iranian cinema as well as the neighboring countries and regions. Every year, the festival program expands in form and content to widen the grasp of different arts for the audiences. This includes music performances, exhibitions, theatre performance, industry programs and many educational workshops that have been organized within the structure of the festival with established artists such as Rakhsahn Bani-Etemad, Leila Hatami, Sidiq Barmak, Helena Třeštíková, Mohammadali Talebi and Mani Haghighi.

A total audience of over 40,000 have visited the festival, watching over 250 films over the 10 editions. With an international team from Czech Republic, Iran, Slovakia, Canada, France, Lithuania and Afghanistan, the festival is, both in program and in structure, a true multicultural platform dedicated to arthouse cinema.
