The private sector in animation
Private-sector investment in the animation industry is very marginal, and even that takes place mainly in Tehran. Various reasons are put forward for this:
1- The monopoly on offering the animation program at universities in Tehran; and
2- The larger number of animation studios in Tehran;
are two examples of these reasons. In the years 1390–1397 (2011–2019), nearly 34 billion tomans of investment took place in Tehran; that is, an average of 4 billion and 250 million tomans each year, which is more than the total of 8 years of investment in Lorestan, Khorasan Razavi, and Kerman. To show how small this figure is, it should be borne in mind that 3 billion tomans in 1397 (2018/19) was spent on making Filshah alone.
In the years mentioned, 57 billion tomans of public and private investment was made in the animation industry. Taking into account the private sector's share, which is 34 billion tomans, it can be understood that animations in Iran are mainly dependent on the private sector, and the absence of government support is felt.
