According to the festival’s public relations office, the secretariat of the Fine Arts Student Animation Festival (Puyan) has officially introduced the members of the Puyan Festival selection committee.
Members of the Puyan Festival Selection Committee
Accordingly, Marzieh Dehghanipour, Fariba Abdolkhani, Paria Sinaeian, Mina Mahmoudi, Toktam Roshan, Fatemeh Mohammadi, Narges Farhadzad, along with Mohammad Erfan Mohammad Hasani and Hossein Hadavand, will be responsible for selecting the works across the festival’s various sections.Composition and Philosophy Behind the Selection
For this committee, the University of Tehran’s student short animation festival drew on current students and graduates of the animation program. The secretariat made this choice with the aim of preserving a connection to the faculty’s own human talent. This decision also gives these individuals a chance to gain professional judging experience — an experience that can shape their future career path as well. Beyond ensuring a quality selection of works based on the festival’s criteria, bringing this group together also helps strengthen a spirit of collaboration, dialogue, and interaction between students and graduates — an approach fully in line with the festival’s educational, experience-driven philosophy.Criteria for Selecting Committee Members
The secretariat chose the members of this selection committee from among individuals who, during their studies, gained valuable executive experience or achieved notable artistic accomplishments. The works that advance to the final competition have all gone through this committee’s careful review process. As is the case with many established festivals, having a selection committee is a standard part of the festival’s structure, and the Puyan Festival secretariat introduces its members with full transparency.
