The Iranian film named 'Please Don't Disturb' by Mohsen Abdolvahab is to be screened at the event.
The Fribourg International Film Festival takes place every year in Fribourg.
Its aim is to promote quality films and thus contribute to ensuring cinematographic and cultural diversity in Switzerland as well as throughout Europe.
In this spirit it selects works essentially from Asia, Africa and Latin America.
The FIFF programs a cinema of inventiveness and poetry as the expression of a conquered freedom - sometimes at great cost.
By getting away from the landmarks and writings of western cinema, the films selected by the FIFF require of the spectator the disposition to be troubled by images, stories and ideas that may not be conformist for a Swiss public.
This is how the Festival contributes to diffusing "another look" and therefore a better comprehension of the various cultural and social realities in the world.
In this respect the FIFF is the Swiss reference event and enjoys wide renown on the international scene.
