According to the festival’s public relations report, the Puyan Festival Policy Council has officially begun its activities with the introduction and appointment of four core members. Through orders issued by the festival’s president, Mr. Babak Nekooei, Dr. Hadi Azari Azghandi, Farrokh Yekdaneh, and Mohammadreza Doostmohammadi were introduced and appointed as members of this council.
First Meeting of the Puyan Festival Policy Council
The members of the Puyan Festival Policy Council, in their first meeting, discussed the event’s goals, approaches, and executive planning. This meeting marks the starting point for shaping the overall framework of the festival’s first national edition and sets the course for the festival’s strategic decisions in the months ahead.
The Role of the Policy Council in the Puyan Festival
Having an independent policy council is one of the key requirements for successfully running specialized festivals. This council is responsible for overseeing the overall proceedings, coordinating among the various executive sections, and ensuring the festival’s alignment with its long-term goals. The presence of experienced figures in animation and cultural management provides a strong foundation for the credibility and future of this event.
The first Puyan Student Short Animation Festival will be held in Azar 1404 (November/December 2025) at the College of Fine Arts, University of Tehran. To learn more about the background, goals, and structure of this event, you can read the About the Puyan Festival page.
The experience of prestigious international festivals such as the Annecy Animation Festival shows that having coherent policy-making structures is one of the key factors in the long-term survival and growth of specialized animation festivals.
