A SELECTION OF BEST IRANIAN SHORT FILMS 2024-2025

Iranian Cinema Night is a curated screening program featuring award-winning short films by
independent and emerging Iranian filmmakers. The first edition of Iranian Cinema Night took place in
October at Carleton University in Ottawa. The event was met with strong audience interest, and the
theatre was completely packed.
This edition’s selected films combine realism with social dilemma undertones and personal
struggles, offering a nuanced window into life inside Iran. All films are subtitled in English.
These works are intimate yet universal, often set in rural or marginalized settings, reflecting the
complexities of Iranian society.

The tone ranges from musical to darkly dramatic, with minimalistic
and Cinematic visual styles and emotionally charged narratives.
All films included in this program are presented with the full consent of their respective
filmmakers. Agreements have been made to allow public screenings as part of Iranian
Cinema Night.

Q&A session with the directors can be included as part of the program.
