How large was the competition?
Published figures differ in scope and come from news coverage rather than an English-language official results page. The Persian-language report says 361 films from 14 countries participated in the main competition; English-language coverage says 34 works were selected for the final competition. These figures should be read as attributed reporting, not independently verified festival statistics.
