The 5th International Green Film Festival opened at Tehran’s Felestin Cinema on Friday with participants who are all concerned about the protection of the environment. A selection of 26 full-length documentaries by filmmakers from around the world will be competing in the festival this year. “Revolution” directed by Rob Stewart from Canada, “10 Billion – What’s on Your Plate?” by Valentin Thurn from Germany, “H2Omx” by José Cohen and Lorenzo Hagerman from Mexico, and “Jumbo Wild” by Nick Waggoner from the U.S. are among the submissions.
A section dedicated to short documentaries will also screen eleven films including “Paper Box” by Zbigniew Czapla from Poland and “Food For Thought, Food for Life” by Susan Rockefeller from the U.S. The festival will be running in Tehran and several other Iranian cities until May 20.
