The Fourth Award (2020): This course of
the awards started its work in November 2020 with the following goals:
- Promotion of the event from the
national to the international level, to take a step in the direction that with
its continuation, Iranian cinema turns to an issue of discussion in the world's
scientific and research circles.
- Changing the direction towards
"producing" research works instead of "collecting" the
available research works
- Development of interdisciplinary
connections (theater, literature, architecture and urban planning, sociology,
economics, information technology, etc.)

Iranian and foreign experts and thinkers about the relationship between cinema
and research
