TEHRAN – Cinema Organization of Iran Director Hojjatollah Ayyubi has appointed Ramezan-Ali Heidari-Khalili as the acting director of the Farabi Cinema Foundation (FCF) on Tuesday.
Heidari-Khalili replaced Mohammadreza Jafari-Jelveh, who held the position since October 2013.
Jafari-Jelveh will serve as the director of Channel 2 of Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB).
The COI plans to slim down the departments working at the Farabi Cinema Foundation (FCF), whose main mission is to coordinate the screening of Iranian films at international events.
In its new mission, the foundation is only allowed to approve scripts and provide facilities for producing certain films.
