Isfahan has 4 works, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad has 3 works, and other provinces each have one or two works represented in this festival.
This geographical distribution has turned the presence of the Art House's works in the 100 Film Festival into a participation that goes beyond a few limited provinces, bringing together a diverse range of provincial filmmakers in one of the most important short film events in the country.
Special Section "For the Homeland"
One of the most important sections of this edition is the special section "For the Homeland," which focuses on themes related to homeland, national identity, resistance, and human and social narratives. A significant portion of the Art House's works is dedicated to this section.
Works from Razavi Khorasan, Qazvin, and other provinces have made it to this section, including titles such as "Iran" directed by Hamid Malihi and "Captain on the Roof" directed by Mohaddeseh Vahidi. Additionally, in the international competition section, works by artists such as "Al" directed by Taymaz Ashrafi and "Blue Trace" by Fahimeh Qaidai will be screened.
The presence of the Art House's works in the 15th 100 Film Festival demonstrates the diversity and richness of cinematic productions from these provinces, which are not limited to local or national themes and hold a special place internationally.
