Pourya Azarbaijani’s Everything Here is Good from Iran, Ali Samadi Ahadi’s 45 Minutes to Ramallah produced in Germany, Abolfazl Saffari’s From Tehran to Heaven produced by Iran and Germany are among the movies that will vie at the Focus on World Cinema section.

Fereydoun Najafi’s The Last Migration has been selected to take part in the Documentary section of the festival.

Many films from over 80 countries, including well-known and first-time filmmakers alike are selected to be showcased at the Montreal annual festival.

The festival seeks to encourage cultural diversity and understanding between nations, to foster the cinema of all continents by stimulating the development of quality cinema and to promote filmmakers and innovative works.
