Iran animation ‘Run Rostam Run’ has succeeded to win Award of Distinction from the 8th edition of Edukino Film Festival in Poland.

While in Tehran, he cannot decide whether to accomplish his goal through a legal way or an illegal one.

The animated film was first screened at Tehran International Animation Festival where it won the best animation and the best director awards.
