11 : 11 directed by Arash Rahmani. A rejected writer with a disorder lives within his imagination in an abandoned house . He is suddenly threatened by a number of "black men" who tell him to write the story they want, or they will attack his house at 11:11 and kill him - not physically - but by forcing him in in a way where he will be obliged to fulfill their needs - a way which is worse than death. Now he hesitates with the dilemma of surrendering or destroying himself before the appointed hour.
"Lilium". directed by Parinaz Hashemi Please click on poster for playback Thanks!
"Nahid" is a girl from “Shahsavar”. A small town in the north of Iran.
At university, her major was environmental studies, but due to some circumstances she couldn’t work in her favorite field and was forced to open an insurance office in “Shahsavar” by her own efforts.
At the opening of the insurance office, she accidentally met a group that was going to run a project in the area.
It was the “International project of Hyrcanian forests”, which was held for five years from 2013 to 2019 and its main aim was to protect forests and the area’s biodiversity with a community-based approach, that is a new approach in Iran based on indigenous knowledge and revival and preservation of past traditions and rituals by trusting and educating the local community.
The result of this approach was not only preserving nature, but also an environmentally aware society, capable of sustainable use of resources. In this project, several pilots were selected in “Mazandaran”, “Gilan” and “Golestan” provinces.
Nahid’s greatest facilitation activity was the Hyrcanian Forests’ Conservation Project. But the turning point for her was when she went to "Baluchistan"
(a deprived area in south of Iran) in 2018 as a recreational trip, but it turned into a facilitating trip where she tried to implement the knowledge that she gained from the Hyrcanian forest project there. “LILIUM” is a film about the journey that goes to the pilots of Hyrcanian Forests’ project after its closure and shows the massive impacts that the project made on empowering the locals. Also, it is a journey to Nahid’s inside, parallel to her emerging concern which is starting the facilitation job in “Baluchistan”.
A lonely child is living with the memory of her mom and dad who are killed by Zionists regime in Gaza.

This Iranian lady lived in Denmark with her husband for many years. After their son was 18 months old, the Danish government separated this child from his parents and handed him over to a Danish family. This mother, who did not get any results from complaining in different courts in Denmark, comes to Iran and tries to get her child back through the Iranian Foreign Ministry.
After mysterious apprehension, disappearance of her fiancée, Farhad, a young sculptor named Parvaneh moves to a house in a far-flung corner in the north of Iran. The few occupants of this area all seem to have moved here from somewhere else, each carrying their own secrets, and she lives with the hope of some news from him even though she is not even sure if he is still alive. The only thing that makes her happy is reading Farhad’s favorite books, which she records and publishes as audio books. A call from a friend as well as the local gallerist informs Parvaneh that some people have been looking for her. At the end, Farhad comes to where Parvaneh lives. It is unclear how much time has passed and what he has been through, but by the time he gets to Parvaneh’s house – as a metaphor for the homeland - the place is an empty ruin, covered in dust.
