Madrese International Short Film Festival

Madrese film festival has started in 2013 by a group of students who have concerns about teenagers' education. At first, they tried to concentrate on a number of schools through the city of Tehran; but step by step and with great effort, they have achieved to expand their work through the whole country after the 5th festival; and maintain themselves as the most important short film festival for students under 19. In this edition, 1294 works from all provinces of Iran have been sent to the festival’s secretariat. Madrese short film festival’s focus is on the works which have been made by students under 19. In the 6th madrese film festival’s executives decided to step into the international arena in order to receive works throughout the world. In the first international edition of the festival which had been held in 2020, we’ve received somewhere around 100 works from 14 countries; and the age limitation was between 7 to 18 years old. In the same edition; we have received 2157 works throughout our own country. The main purpose for gathering together this festival was to discover the talents of our students at a young age which is the most important goal for us now. MISFF is trying to prepare an appropriate atmosphere for our teenagers to grow by discovering talents and educating them through great art teachers, and by this education tries to begin film projects with them in order to introduce the world of art and cinema to them. The 7Th edition of MISFF is now open. all students under 19 can submit their works and share them with us. We hope this Edition be the best for all.
