iFilm (Persian: [ˈaifiːlm], Arabic: [ˈaifilm, ˈaifiːlm]), also known as iFilm TV, is an Iranian entertainment network which consists of three channels in English, Arabic and Persian. The network was launched on September 9, 2010. The original purpose of the channel is to present Iranian films and series to the global audience. The network was managed by Mohammad-Reza Khatami from its inauguration until he was replaced by Mehdi Mojtahed, son of Ayatollah Mojtahed Shabestari[1] in June 2016.
In 2013, iFilm started an additional channel, broadcasting all content dubbed in English.[2]
