The 12th Sahar International Short Film
Festival 2025

The wait is Over

The wait is over. Today is 20th of November, We are proud to announce the official Selections.  And celebrate the 12th edition of the Sahar International Short Film Festival 2025 together.

From the vast number of submitted films, more than two hundred short films from all across the world with different themes were selected.

Not all films are in the style of art and poetic films. Many of the films that were produced for this year's Sahar Festival are in the crime or horror genres. As we just passed the October and Halloween time, that was understandable. Based on great respect for the filmmakers and their cast and crew, who worked hard to produce their premiere films, they submitted their films to the Sahar Festival on the scheduled date. We appreciated all of the filmmaker's creativity and their participation.

As is usual every year, the premiere films in the competition section will be judged for the best film of the festival. Although the some of the  films produced in 2024 were technically and structurally significantly impressive in the meaning they contained in their stories, we decided to judge each film in its own categories. That is, the premiere films in the premiere competition and the films of 2024 in the international festival. Also, the contemporary Iranian cinema has the guest of three short films from Iran. The names of the selected films will be announced during the festival from December 12 to 20 of this year.

We will stream some of the received trailers during the time of the Festival on the Sahar website and YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGmzUfXB2pB89v4FuRyevrsRIrl_2SgHz

EDGE

Fiction
Where are the limits that prevent us from acting in situations of injustice and abuse? Are they imposed by positions of power, or are they found within us? Are visible or invisible borders stronger? What would happen if all these limitations materialised and you had to face them?
Locked in a Romanesque apse, separated by a huge glass pane and deprived of speech, two people meet without knowing how they got there.
“EDGE” is a short film where, based on the director's personal experiences, dance and body movement replace dialogue to reflect, in a poetic way, on the lack of communication, isolation and repression, and make us question how many limitations, injustices and impositions we are capable of enduring before reaching our own limit.
