Feast of Linkage between Iranian, Latin American Revolutionary Arts – On 29th August 2016

The third edition of the APFF kicked off on August 24 and more than 5,000 films from 129 countries were reportedly submitted to the secretariat of the festival.

The theme of this year’s edition was the Influence of Arrogant World Powers on Other Countries. The festival sought to shed light on the CIA-assisted colonial coup in Iran, which overthrew the then government of democratically-elected then-Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddeq in favor of cementing the monarchical rule of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the then-Iranian monarch, back on August 19, 1953.
