According to Kanoon General Directorate for Public Relations and International Affairs, the short films that entered the official section of the festival will compete in three groups: fiction, animation and documentary.

Kanoon produced “The Cycling Wind”, the six-minute animation, in 2019. It will be screened on Dec 13, 2020 in Sardinia Film Festival.

The animation is experiencing its tenth international presence. It is based on “Gallop Gallop”, a book by Farhad Hassanzadeh.

Based on the news, in the seventh round of the festival held in 2012, two short animations from Iran were participating in the competitive section: “The Wolf and the Ewe” made by Mohammad Ali Soleimanzadeh and “Life Story of Red Pencil” directed by Alireza Chitaie.

Due to the pandemic, 15th Sardinia Film Festival is held online from Dec 10 to 15, 2020 in Sardinia, Italy.
