TEHRAN -- Coinciding with the 7th International and 19th National Short Film Festival of the Iranian Young Cinema Society (IYCS), the director of Sacred Defense Cinema Organization (SDCO) said, "One of the best ways to safeguard the legacy of sacred defense is through producing and promoting short films abroad." Hassan Barzideh added, "Short films are affordable and a great number of them can be produced on varied subjects in a short period of time. They never worry about the audience and can speak out the unspoken. Short films can effortlessly participate at the international film festivals as an affective way to deliver messages to the film audience."
