In 1970, he joined the “Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults” where he contributed to establish the Children’s Film Training Center as well as writing music for audio books, animations, and short films produced by the institute. This period of tension influenced the depth and emotional intensity of his later compositions, which often carried themes of longing, displacement, and resistance.
This innovative approach allowed his work to resonate beyond the cinema screen, influencing modern music and contemporary composers seeking to merge tradition with experimentation. Even after leaving for periods of exile, Monfaredzadeh continued to compose, mentor young musicians, and advocate for Iranian music. His influence is evident in the work of later film composers who blend traditional Persian elements with modern cinematic scoring techniques.
