The 5 Photo & Film Award is a prestigious and large festival for film and photography. It supports artists from all over the world, especially independent and modern artists, and seeks to create a bridge between different countries and cultures.
It is inspired by a 500-year-old tree located in the village of Aro, in the suburb of Damavand, Tehran Province.
This tree has been the subject of photographs by 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 Center Pompidou in Paris and the Museum of Contemporary Art in New York.
Six years ago, documentary photographer and filmmaker Mehdi Shadizadeh photographed this tree again and founded the festival to celebrate this cultural and iconic symbol, representing Kiarostami’s artistic legacy.
The number “5” is derived from the movie “5” made by Kiarostami, which was made in 2003 and contains five scenes with an average duration of 16 minutes.
