Pegah Ahangarani at the Film Festival in Paris
What’s the purpose of film festivals in the 21st Century?
In my opinion film festivals in the 21st century are meeting places for filmmakers and people who are interested in the world in its variety, different approaches to life, film as an art form, a medium and a tool of social expression. Film festivals offer filmmakers a platform to introduce their work and discuss topics shown in the film as well as the filmmaking process. Hence festivals encourage and create dialogue between people.
