Kaveh Tehrani is the director of 'The Manchador'. It is a film about 'Mina' and 'Saeed' who live a stressful life in the Iranian capital, Tehran. Being a woman in Iran is not particularly easy and Mina sees a future for the family elsewhere. She wants to move abroad, but Saeed then invents a device that places the responsibility for the hijab where it belongs - with the men whose gaze women need protection from.
Kaveh Mazaheri directed 'The Funfair'. The film is about 'Majid', a financially struggling man who comes up with a ploy in order to better the life of his wife Sara.

Jury members come from around the globe, have a variety of backgrounds, and are all united in their desire to screen films that will truly impress and inspire attendees.
