TEHRAN – “Aleppo: The Silence of the War” and “Beloved” from Iranian filmmakers will be screened in various categories of the International Documentary Filmfestival Amsterdam (IDFA).

“Aleppo: The Silence of the War” directed by Amir Osanlu will go on screen in the IDFA Competition for Short Documentary.

The film is a powerful image of the devastation that occurred in the Syrian city of Aleppo in the war against the Daesh terrorists.

“Beloved” by Yaser Talebi is about Firuzeh, an 82-year-old woman who prefers a hard, solitary herder’s existence with her cows to a more comfortable life among people.

The IDFA will be held in the Dutch capital from November 14 to 25.
