The Sobh International Media Festival was established in Iran in 2023 with the goal of introducing a wide range of television producers present in the IRIB World Service, as well as giving local and international artists a platform to create art and facilitate positive interactions and cultural transformations.

This festival aims to foster artistic creativity in order to build a strong and influential media platform on a global scale by recognizing and rewarding talented individuals with a background in media.

We hope that our educational activities, including workshops and seminars, will help introduce the artists to a variety of media, broaden their vision, and encourage independent thinking.

The "Sobh" festival centers around "Media and the New World Order," delving into the significance of local and regional identities, spiritualism, cultural authority, as well as the influence of family origins. Moreover, it explores the idea that discourse can give rise to resistance and opposition against oppressive powers.

This is the place where all artists, thinkers, activists, and creators strive for the dawn (Sobh) of justice, humanity, peace, and spirituality in a new world.

The second edition of this festival will open with three main sections: Main section, IRIB World Service, and the Palestine special.
