last word
With the passing of the 41st dawn of the revolution, we have to ask ourselves: how far does Iranian cinema, in its important artistic position, fulfill its mission regarding the position of women in the contemporary world? How much has he been able to pull the woman out of the purgatory between misogyny and misogyny and arrange her in her natural position?
Considering the foundations of the revolution, which is based on independence and freedom, has the cinema of the Islamic Republic been able to bring a human and Islamic identity to women, regardless of the borrowed alphabet of the West, or does it continue to drag her down the same path that she set foot on? Are there any previous Persian films and western pornographs left?
Unfortunately, it must be said that the empty space of Iranian women is still strongly felt in cinematographic and television works, and in all theatrical works, faithful and committed women who, at the same time, adhere to moral and Islamic values, are selective, truth-seeking, responsible, successful and effective people. Be a social arena. Now, we have to see what image of Iranian women will be shown on the screen in this year’s festival, which is the result of the management and policies of the new government.
