The International Fajr Film Festival has been a prominent part of the celebration of the Islamic Revolution since 26 years ago. Since then, every year, the cold February days see a lot of new movies competing against each other. The event also includes discussions about the participating films and a lot of other social events.
As you might guess, among the criteria for picking Iranian actresses, like all over the world, the looks play a major part. That, however, would make the life of some photographers very hard. When Fars News wanted to publish pictures from a meeting in the festival, they had no othere choice than to focus on the name-tags and blur out the ladies. See more pictures in the photoblog.
