IN MILAN NOSTALGIA FILM FESTIVAL IRAN

Nostalgia Film Festival (NFF) is the first independent Iranian Film Festival to be born in Italy, and will take place from 26 to 28 November 2019 at the auditorium of the Politecnico di Milano. The initiative has no affiliation with political or religious organizations, but is intended to show feature films and short films made by Iranian authors from all over the world. NFF is also a platform for Iranian filmmakers living in different parts of the world, aimed at expressing their vision and talent through Cinema. Nostalgia Film Festival was also established to support Iranian cinema and culture in the Italian-Iranian community active in the Lombardy region.

The selection of the films was determined by the taste and cultural trends of our time, regardless of the pursuit of an intellectual, political or other approach. The Festival intends to create sweet and nostalgic memories for Iranian audiences beyond national borders and also to present to the world that culture that Cinema knows well to represent.
