5 FILM & PHOTO AWARDS PRESENT

5 Film & Photo Award Festival

The 5 Photo & Film Award is an international event for photography and film with the intention to create a bridge between different countries and cultures. The festival is inspired by a 500 years old tree in the suburb of Damavand, located in the village of Aro.

This tree has been the subject of photographs of international director and photographer Abbas Kiarostami every year in different seasons for many years. His photographs have been exhibited under the title “Snow White” in world-renowned galleries such as the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Contemporary Art in New York.

About 6 years ago, Mehdi Shadizadeh, a documentary photographer and filmmaker and the founder of 6 5 Film & Photo Awards Festival photographed this tree again and created the festival to celebrate this cultural and iconic symbol, which symboliyes Abbas Kiarostami’s artistic legacy.

The number “5” is derived from the movie “5” made by Abbas Kiarostami, which has been published in 2002 and contains 5 scenes with the average duration of 16 minutes.

About Iran Mall library

The construction of the Iran Mall library was started in 2011 and after the National Library, it earned the title of the largest library in Iran. This library is considered one of the most valuable and attractive cultural places in the capital, which is located on the second floor of the Grand Bazaar of Iran or Iran Mall. The entrance library consists of three floors, which is currently prohibited on the second floor, and a dedicated glass elevator is used to move between the other two floors.
The first thing you will notice at first glance is the amazing architecture with its high ceiling, wooden decoration and shelves full of books. People who love books will be surprised to be in such a space. This is not the whole story, and besides reading a book and walking around this place, you can treat yourself to a drink at the cafe of this complex and have a memorable experience.
It seems that the combination of Gothic and Iranian architecture has been used in the library. In fact, the classical architecture of this library was inspired by the architecture of the 16th century Europe and was built in the Gothic style and is so beautiful and impressive that it is considered one of the main reasons for its popularity. At the same time, a stunning staircase with an Iranian design stands out in the eastern part of the library.
which, along with glass elevators, slim designs and colored glass in the western part of the complex and extraordinary lighting, create a wonderful atmosphere have done The combination of Gothic and Iranian architecture is one of the most important visual features of the Iran Mall library The ceiling of this extraordinary place is decorated with impressive carvings, which will take away the tiredness of sightseeing. There are also a number of statues in the library, unfortunately, no guide or explanation has been provided for them.
By visiting the Iranian library, it is as if you have stepped into an old library in the heart of Europe, and for this reason, there are few people who enter this library and do not record such scenes with their camera lens. The main space of the library consists of a rectangular hall, where a 350-meter exquisite hand-woven carpet created by Kashani carpet weavers can be seen.
There is a large table in the center of the hall and small four-seater tables around it where you can sit around and read a book. Single armchairs are also installed in this hall, which look suitable for a few minutes of rest. The library’s stairs are made of white marble and wooden railings, and every visitor is encouraged to take a souvenir photo.
The Iran Mall library has become a place for tourists to visit and many people use this section for the purpose of visiting the cafe, recreation and photography. It is natural that the number of visitors increases on weekends, and as a result, it is no longer a good place to read a book due to the crowd.
