careful screening, 75 applicants were admitted.
The one year of training integrated basic education in audiovisual techniques and theory taught in the classroom with practical application gained through on-the-job assignments with the Syracuse University film crew. Those 60 Iranians who satisfactorily completed the program are now in charge of producing technical and educational films and film strips.
Success of this apprentice training sparked off a second audiovisual program in Tehran in the summer of 1954, when a Syracuse University staff member taught a course in the production and utilization of audiovisual materials at the Fine Arts Ministry. To date, some 6,000 teachers and supervisors have been reached either directly or indirectly through this and similar courses.
Still another outgrowth of that first Iranian training program was an intensive one year audiovisual luilization program, given on the Syracuse University campus during 1955-56. This pioneer program, offered under the sponsorship of the International Cooperation Administration, had 23 student participants from 14 countries in the Middle and Far East, Africa and South America.
Iranians continued to build competence in the areas of film production and audiovisual administration. By 1957, the time was at hand for a shifting of operational responsibility from the
U. S. government to the government of Iran. As the final stage of our overseas project, we laimched that year a program of advisory assistance to the Iranian government in developing educational motion picture production and printing arts.
We sent to Iran a staff of ten audiovisual specialists to Serve as consultants on film production, jjrinting trades, utilization and equipment maintenance. This brought the nimiber of Syracuse audiovisual staff members who had at some time worked on the Iranian project up to thirty.
Our specialists served as advisers on the construction of the idtra modern audiovisual center in Tehran. The three-story grey marble building houses a multilith and letterpress |3rinting establishment, a library, facilities for motion pictine and film strip production and photographic work as well as offices for administrative personnel, staff writers and directors. The center's staff of forty, now the leaders of audiovisual education in Iran, were all trained by our Overseas Film Crew.
When our overseas consultants retinn to the U. S. next June they will be able to take pride in the fact that in a land where less than a decade ago there was no knowledge of audiovisual materials, there stands today a beautiful, fully eqin'pped audiovisual center to serve the needs of the various ministries of the Iranian government.
