Iran’s iFilm TV-channel will be broadcasting in English in the near future, Head of Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting Ezzatollah Zarghami said live on IRINN TV-channel. Zarghami made the remarks during the opening of Iran’s first digital TV-channel “Nomayesh” (Display). He added that Iranian movies and TV-dramas will be shown on the English iFilm channel either dubbed or with subtitles. Previously, Iran had iFilm only broadcasting in Arabic.
iFilm is an Iranian TV-channel, which presents programmes in Arabic and Persian languages. The channel was launched in Iran on August 11, 2010. The original purpose of the channel is to present Iranian films and serials to the Arabian world. Presenting Iranian films at world festivals, on satellite and cable channels or for home entertainment, has returned positive results over the recent years. It has also served to familiarize global audiences with the works, thus providing the grounds for the growth of the industry.
