The London Film School is pleased to announce IMVBox.com as an Official Education Partner.
IMVBox collaborates with the Institute in film, culture and education. The purpose of the partnership is to give the opportunity to students to learn differently by watching Iranian movies online with English subtitles. Alongside their Persian classes, students will improve their command of Farsi and sharpen their knowledge of the Middle East and Iranian Cinema by watching Iranian movies on IMVBox.
Boasting over 1000 streaming films, IMVBox.com is the largest online cinema and only legal platform for Iranian content. By showcasing a large selection of award-winning Iranian movies, including features, documentaries, shorts and plays, IMVBox aims to present the diversity, depth and richness of Iranian Cinema.
IMVBox's core mission is to paint a true picture of the Middle East. The IMVBox team believes that Middle Eastern Cinema is a powerful medium not only in its ability to emotionally and artistically move a large number of audiences but also in its ability to raise awareness about the realities and cultures of the Middle East.
Middle Eastern cinema is more than an entertainment medium – it is a door to a hidden world, a world full of breath-taking landscapes, beautiful stories, and fascinating realms seldom explored. Of course, all doors need a key, and IMVBox is just that – a key. Through the IMVBox portal, the hope is to unlock the spellbinding, often misunderstood, complexities of Iran's proud culture, and raise awareness about the realities of life in the Middle East.
IMVBox collaborates with the top educational institutions around the world to enlighten students about Persian society, and count the universities of Oxford, St Andrews, and Edinburgh amongst its associates. Together, they work to create awareness of the richness and diversity of our proud Iranian culture. IMVBox have also partnered with film festivals as Middle East Now, UK International Film Festival, and London City Documentary Festival, where the best films from Iranian artists are showcased.
