Our Vision:
By 2035, the International “Khesht-e Sevom” Festival aspires to be the largest and most prestigious cultural-arts event in the Islamic world dedicated to ongoing Sacred Defense and popular resistance. It seeks to become the leading center for producing and distributing high-caliber artistic and media content inspired by Iranian dignity and Islamic resilience—a platform where every artist is a storyteller and every creation becomes an enduring cornerstone of this nation’s history.
The festival envisions itself as the definitive authority for narrating, documenting, and honoring Iran’s hybrid defense accomplishments, inspiring resistance movements worldwide through culture and art.
In the short term (one year), the goal is to foster international dialogue on the “Iranian model of resistance against modern warfare” and gain recognition in global academic and media spheres.
Within five years, “Khesht-e Sevom” aims to establish itself as a global brand for producing excellence in resistance art and culture, while building networks among activists, scholars, and artists from oppressed and sanctioned nations. Ultimately, the festival will embody the enduring spirit of jihad and sacrifice in non-military domains.
