The city of Tehran recently held events to promote two major upcoming cinematic gatherings. On Thursday, organizers unveiled the official posters for the 43rd Tehran International Short Film Festival (TISFF), marking the start of the promotional phase for the event. The TISFF is a long-standing fixture in the regional film circuit, focusing on short-form storytelling and emerging talent.

Separately, authorities announced that the 19th International Resistance Film Festival is set to commence in November. This festival, which focuses on themes of resistance and political struggle, will feature screenings across various competitive and non-competitive sections. While the Tehran Times provided the basic scheduling and promotional details for both events, the reports did not specify the exact dates for the short film festival or provide a detailed list of participating filmmakers for either event. Both announcements serve as part of the broader cultural calendar in Tehran, highlighting the state's continued emphasis on film as a medium for both artistic expression and ideological messaging.
