The powerful short film “For Sale”, directed by Sonia Noori, has secured its ninth international selection, this time entering the official competition of the 9th Toronto International Nollywood Film Festival (TINFF), set to take place in the vibrant city of Toronto.

TINFF is one of the most respected and influential film festivals in the world, officially recognized by the Canadian Academy of Cinema & Television—widely known as the “Canadian Oscars.” This endorsement underscores the festival’s high standing within the global film industry.

For Sale had previously been screened at the Emerging Lens Cultural Film Festival, another Canadian Academy–approved event, where it garnered widespread attention from both critics and audiences alike.

This string of achievements reflects the film’s exceptional artistic quality and the creators’ ability to explore unique and emotionally resonant themes. It also signals a bright future for Iranian short films on the global stage.

Participation in such elite festivals provides a unique platform for showcasing Iranian culture and storytelling to international audiences and fostering meaningful collaboration with leading filmmakers from around the world.
