Persian Yalda Nacht (winter solstice celebration)

Here we go with another longest night of the year celebration, this time joining forces with KaskCinema and amazing artists of Gent to make another memorable night.
Yalda is the longest and darkest night of the year. In Iran, it's customary to gather with friends and family on Yalda night to eat specific Yalda dishes and read poetry late into the night. Red fruits such as pomegranates and watermelons are often eaten because their colors evoke the red hues of sunrise and the glow of life.
