Iran's cinematic landscape has long been a vibrant and flourishing industry, renowned for its distinct minimalist style and emotionally charged storytelling. With a rich history spanning over nine decades, Iran's first spoken film was produced 90 years ago, while its first cinema was established in 1900, merely five years after the Lumière brothers invented cinema.
As one of the world's oldest and most revered cinematic traditions, Iranian films have consistently made a significant impact at domestic and international festivals, earning global recognition and accolades, including at the Oscars, Cannes, and Berlin.
In recent years, Iranian cinema has also made a notable presence at the Hanoi International Film Festival, garnering prestigious awards and further solidifying its reputation as a powerhouse of cinematic excellence.
From April 11-15, 2025, five acclaimed Iranian films will be screened at the National Cinema Center, No. 87 Lang Ha Street, Hanoi, showcasing the country's rich cinematic heritage and diverse storytelling traditions. The selected films explore themes of love, family and personal struggle, offering audiences a unique glimpse into Iranian culture and society.
"We are delighted to bring Iranian cinema to the heart of Hanoi," said Iranian Ambassador to Vietnam Ali Akbar Nazari. "This film week is a celebration of our shared cultural values and a testament to the enduring power of cinema to bridge cultures and nations."
The Iran Film Week 2025 is open to the public. Admission is free, and all films will be subtitled in English and Vietnamese.
