iFilm is a revolutionary new TV channel (inaugurated on September 9, 2010) that showcases the best of Iranian Cinema in Arabic and Farsi. This application is the official Android app of iFilm TV (www.ifilmtv.ir).
The application lets you view - in Arabic or Farsi (Persian) - the live feed of the iFilm TV Channel.
NOTE: Some programs are only available in Arabic, therefore sometimes the Farsi (Persian) feed will have Arabic programming, this is because the programming being shown is not available in Farsi (Persian). This is the case for some talk shows, however the serials, movies and dramas are all available in Farsi (Persian) and Arabic.
The next version of this application will allow the user access to iFilm's Media related news stories, and to it's extensive Video on Demand (VOD) archive.
There will also be in the future a version specifically for Tablets which will feature a unique and innovative user interface.
