Iran's annual Fajr International Film Festival (Persian: جشنواره بین‌المللی فیلم فجر), or Fajr Film Festival (little: FIFF; Persian: جشنواره فیلم فجر), has been held every February in Tehran since 1983.

Since 2022, the national and international segments have been merged again, with the combined festival taking place from 1 to 11 February every year.

[4] Entries into the International Competition section must not have premiered in Central Asia, Caucasia and Anatolia (with the exception of the country of origin), or the Middle East to be considered.

[10] Fajr International Film Festival has hosted important figures over the years, including Oliver Stone,[11] Paul Schrader,[12] and Jean-Pierre Léaud.

[14][15][16][17][18][19] In some years, particularly when there was a coincidence with a tense political situation, the festival has faced boycotting as a state-run event.
