‘Tehran-Amjadieh’ to join Barcelona’s Medimed Film Market
Iranian documentary ‘Tehran-Amjadieh,’ directed by Mahmoud Molaei and produced by Mostafa Shoghi, will be featured at the Medimed film market in Barcelona this October, according to ILNA.
The Medimed market, an annual event in Spain, brings together producers, broadcasters and distributors across Europe and the Mediterranean to spark co-productions and pitch new content. The participation of ‘Tehran-Amjadieh’ is expected to open doors for cross-border collaborations and expand Iran’s footprint in the international documentary scene.
Produced by House of Documentary, the film traces the layered history of Amjadieh Stadium—now known as Shahid Shiroudi Stadium—which was once hailed as the country’s first modern sports arena. The stadium, located in central Tehran, has witnessed “historic events” and social transformations over the decades.
The 90-minute documentary is presented in both Persian and English and aims to appeal to a wide international audience. Its presence at Medimed will give global distributors and broadcasters a closer look at Iran’s evolving approach to cultural storytelling through sports and urban memory.
Medimed, formally known as the Mediterranean Documentary Market, is scheduled for October 9–13 in Sitges, near Barcelona.
