Sharp As Stone
This animated short features the debut of Elliot the Adventurer and his faithful yak steed, Baroo. Elliot seeks to pull a magical sword bound to a stone — bound in such a way, that only one, the rightful King of the land, is capable of lifting the blade. Many have tried to fulfill this task, and yet many have failed. Elliot struggles to pull the sword out, but he has other plans to attempt and pry the blade loose, while Baroo spectates. Elliot tries again, attempt after attempt, each plan more extreme than the last…
The Bridge of Victory
A revolution was launched after Reza Shah inaugurated the North-South Railway in 1938. Construction of Iran’s countrywide railway not only changed the Middle East, but it also changed the whole world. It made Iran the “Bridge of Victory” of the triumph of the allied forces against the Nazi Germany.
