Silk Road Film Festival (7)

영화제 시작: 07 3월 2018      영화제 끝: 11 3월 2018

Silk Road International Film Festival (SRFF) is held annually during the month of March in Dublin, Ireland.

The Silk Road Film Festival celebrates cinema, culture and art, presenting films from regions, which were once part of the historical network of the Silk Road ancient trade routes and focuses in particular on Asian, Arab, Persian, African, Mediterranean and European cinema. The festival is held in Ireland to promote cinema of the Silk Road internationally and to facilitate international contacts between filmmakers thus narrowing distances between people and cultures, breaking boundaries and fostering cross-cultural collaboration and social change. World renowned filmmakers attend each year to give master classes and seminars, such as Bela Tarr, Mahmoud Kalari, Tony Kearns, Alex Oh and Vittorio Storaro.

The 7th Silk Road International Film Festival will have film screenings, premieres, exhibitions, panels, chats with industry guests, free courses and workshops.
