Farhang Cinema

Farhang Cinema is a multiplex with several screening rooms in Tehran's District 3 showing both Iranian and international films. The complex uses modern projection and sound technology across all rooms for presentations in multiple languages.

The cinema was founded in 1969 and underwent major renovations before reopening in 2003. This reopening brought the venue back as a significant place for film screening in Tehran.

The cinema's name means culture in Persian, reflecting how the venue connects viewers to Iranian cinema traditions. Walking through the halls, you see how locals gather here to watch films from their own country alongside international releases.

The complex is well-positioned in District 3 and easy to access with multiple screening spaces available. Check the schedule ahead of time as the program changes regularly throughout the year.

The venue regularly screens Iranian film retrospectives, showing older works alongside contemporary productions. These special programs let visitors discover important works they might have missed from earlier decades.
