A record number of foreign films have applied for participation in the 40th Tehran International Short Film Festival (TISFF) in October, the fest's secretary Mehdi Azarpendar said Monday.

As many as 7,216 films representing 131 countries and regions will take part in the festival's international section, said Azarpendar, adding that Spain, India, France and the United States are the countries with the most entries.

Azarpendar made the remarks at a press conference in the Iranian capital Tehran on this year's festival, which is scheduled for Oct. 19-24, according to the TISFF's website.

Two new sections, namely "Truth Seekers" and "Silk Road," are set for this year's foreign films in competition. The former would be awarded to films that seek to reflect truths, and the latter to those reflecting the neighborly spirit among countries along the ancient trade routes.

The number of films submitted for the national section is 1,787, comprising 1,185 fictions, 267 documentaries, 222 experimental movies and 113 animated films.
