Iranian Short Film Academy Awards also known as ISFA awards are an annual award held in Iran by the Iranian Short Film Association, a subset of the Iranian House of Cinema. This event was held for the first time in 2007 as the Iranian Independent Short Film Celebration during Kamal Farhang’s presidency of the Iranian Short Film Association board. Previously the best short film award was granted at the Great Celebration of Iranian Cinema Guild, but in 2007 the Iranian House of Cinema decided on eliminating the best short film, best documentary and best animation awards from the Great Celebration and requested trade unions to hold independent ceremonies in the same timeframe and grant awards in various fields to their own picks. Since then the Iranian Short Film Association has been in charge of selection and judging of the films. The director of each period is appointed by the board of Iranian Short Film Association. Amirali A’laaii, Majid Barzegar, Masoud Amini Tirani, Nima Abbaspour, Amir Touderoosta, Peyman Nahanghodrati and Armin Isarian have been the awards directors as of 2020. Due to selection and judging through the short film union members’ votes and independence from governmental organizations, the ISFA awards are considered one of the most credible short film award in Iran. The 11th edition will be held in spring 2021 with Alireza Ghasemi as director.
