100-Second International Film Festival
Emerging or unverified festival
The 100-Second International Film Festival in Tehran is a long-running short-film event built around an unusual constraint: films must tell a complete story in just 100 seconds. It is notable for its international reach, its emphasis on brevity, creativity, and humanitarian or ethical themes, and its role in discovering and promoting new filmmakers from Iran and many other countries.
