Ammar Film Festival From “Darkhovin Town” to “Far West, Near East”

According to the cinema correspondent of Fars News Agency, the first day of showing the works of the 12th Ammar People’s Film Festival has started today in Palestine Cinema in Tehran. On this occasion, we have dealt with the two films “Far West, Near East” directed by Abdolreza Hadizadeh Naeini and “Darkhovin Town” directed by Seyyed Mojtaba Khayyam Al-Husseini, which will be screened today at the Ammar Film Festival.

In the following, we will examine the two films “Far West, Near East” and “Darkhovin Town”.

Do lions and dragons ally?

Diplomatic relations during Hassan Rouhani’s eight-year presidency are the subject of the documentary “Far West and Near East.” Documentary point of view, on China as the second largest economy in the world. This documentary deals with Iran’s flawed and unbalanced relations with the countries of the region and the West, and tries its best to convince the Iranian society that it must accept the “Chinese-style world order.”

By proposing the revival of the Silk Road, the Yellow Dragon intends to bypass America as its greatest rival; But Iran is blocking this regional development behind the gates of Tehran. Iran’s crooked neck to the west evokes the memories of European tourists when they open their mouths to condemn him on the Silk Road. “I saw Iran dying. A land that is hostile to itself and threatens to collapse. “Only the rivalry between its strong neighbors, Britain and Russia, has kept Iran somewhat afloat.” The Far West, the Near East, refers to this ancient knot in diplomatic interactions. Do not get too close to the west or far from the east. The ideal is a balance between the two.

This documentary, although brief and transient, follows the conversations of people such as Majid Reza Hariri, Hamed Vafaei, and Mehdi Safari, and examines eight years of Iranian foreign policy. Relations that forced Iran to sign a memorandum under the boots of Marcus Aurelius. Directed and written by Abdolreza Hadizadeh Naeini and produced by Mohsen Salim, this documentary takes a diplomatic look at Iran in thirty-four minutes and seeks to elevate China from the goodwill of Iran’s reserves.

Comparing Iran as a country that can provide security and energy supply to the region and the world could be the pulse of this documentary; But this documentary takes a brief look at this strategy. The revival of the ancient Silk Road in the Treaty of the Lion and the Dragon will certainly be the basis for many documentaries, including the Far West and the East near the beginning of this road.

Darkhovin Town; An unspoken treasure of eight years of standing

The oral history of the Holy Defense is a precious heritage and treasure that if we are late and do not extract and record its unspoken words, it will not be long before all those values, sacrifices and self-sacrifice, etc. will be buried with the departure of a large number of Holy Defense fighters. In the words of the Supreme Leader, if we “do not say and do not write,” we will be “told and written.”

The documentary “Darkhovin Town”, based on the narrations of the narrators of that holy land, which is the permanent headquarters of the Isfahani warriors in the 14th Division of Imam Hussein (AS), has tried to depict a corner of the pure events that took place there in the form of a documentary. Keeping alive the memory of the warriors and martyrs, pass on the values ​​of those loved ones to future generations.

Addressing the special effects of the management of Imam Hussein (AS) Martyr Hussein Kharazi, who commanded the brigades, to the performance of engineering and support units in the construction of baths, kitchens and the mosque of the Fourteen Innocents, which were the center of gravity of all activities of this training camp to pure cultural and artistic activities. And Khales introduces all of them as “Darkhovin Town” as “Darkhovin University”, where not only all up-to-date academic disciplines, including engineering, medicine, ideology, military, humanities, culture and art, etc., are taught. In addition to fighting, its graduates have been able to conquer the peaks of self-sacrifice and martyrdom.

The continuity and non-repetition of the memories expressed by the narrators of the documentary show that the producers of this work wanted to bring the most benefit to their audience and prove that the identity of Darkhovin town depends on the identity of each of its martyrs and warriors.

Although taking advantage of the presence of influential people in this training camp and recording their memories is a positive point, if he could get rid of that young fighter holding a flag that kisses the commander of the division with all his being and looks happily at the camera, he could paint and glaze the documentary. Make it more colorful.

The existence of a strong cultural section that has been able to prepare and maintain videos and photos of the hidden and visible events of this educational barracks has come to the aid of the documentary maker so that he can confirm what his narrators say that this event has made the documentary something more than what is narrated. Show.

Addressing the spiritual dimensions of the sacred defense along with its physical dimensions has placed this documentary in a higher position than other documentaries of this kind.
