New Section for Cinema Verite 2020
Dear Documentary Filmmakers,
With respect to the ongoing crisis caused by COVID-19, we all share the same concern to defeat this pandemic disease with a global support, that’s why we would appreciate to dedicate a special section with the issue of Corona virus “COVID-19” at the next edition of Iran International Documentary film Festival “Cinema Verite”, 2020 which affects everybody around the world. COVID-19 cancellations and quarantines sweep the globe.
So we would like to invite you all to send us your documentaries with this issue.
