Iranian Youth Cinema Society

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Iranian Youth Cinema Society (IYCS) is an Iranian non-profit educational film institution established in 1976.[1][2] IYCS is associated with the Iranian Ministry of Culture and has 60 branches around the country; the main branch is located in Tehran.[2] IYCS also trains students to specialize in cinema.[3]

IYCS organizes Tehran International Short Film Festival (TISFF) every year in October, which is an Academy Awards (Oscars) qualifying film festival.[4][5]

In 2020, the organization began to release short films online.[6][7]

IYCS produces numerous short films every year[2] and supports their presentation at international film festivals.[8] For example, in 2022, IYCS participated in Shanghai International Film Festival, presenting Iranian movies.[9]
