Iranian director and comedian Reza Attaran will be among the jury members of the festival, which will be held from November 21 to 27.

TV anchors to stage benefit performance
TEHRAN – A group of Iranian TV anchors plans to stage a reading performance of “The Sunshine Boys” at Tehran’s Andisheh Cultural Center on November 30 to raise funds for patients suffering from cancer.
All the money raised by the concert will be presented to the Sepas charity center in Tehran.
TV anchors Sara Javadzadeh, Mohammad Soluki, Javad Yahyavi, Mohammad Salimi, Saeid Sheykhzadeh and Shahin Salimi along with vocalist Ruzbeh Nematollahi will perform the play.
Written by American dramatist Neil Simon, the play focuses on the aging Al Lewis and Willie Clark, a one-time vaudevillian team known as “Lewis and Clark” who, over the course of forty-odd years, not only grew to hate each other but never spoke to each other off-stage throughout the final year of their act.
