TEHRAN – Iran’s 14th edition of the International Resistance Film Festival (IRFF) plans to screen fourteen documentary and fiction films by Iranian directors on the war against Daesh in Iraq, the organizers announced on Saturday.

 Among the films are “The Judgment” directed by Mohammad Esfandiari, “1920” by Farshad Ektesabi, “Day 84” by Mehdi Avaz-zadeh and “Bridge” by Amir-Hossein Noruzi. 

The organizers also plan to screen Clint Eastwood’s 2014 drama “American Sniper”.

“American Sniper” is a true story about Navy S.E.A.L. sniper, Chris Kyle, who saves countless lives on the battlefield, turning him into a legend. He serves four tours of duty in Iraq. However, when he finally returns home to his wife and kids, he finds that he can’t leave the war behind.

The screening of the film will be followed by a review session by Iranian critic and scholar Majid Shah-Hosseini.

The International Resistance Film Festival will be held in Tehran from September 23 to 30, during the Sacred Defense Week to commemorate the anniversary of the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war.
