In this regard, he continued: “This film is one of the works that the research department of the Academy of Arts will publish in the form of books from various aspects of narrative, semiotics, discourse analysis and other topics and the results of its studies.” But tonight, the director and producer of the film will be honored for their remembrance of eight years of sacred defense.

He stated: Art basically exaggerates to see what is natural and everyday; Because everyday phenomena are not spectacular, but art makes them spectacular by compressing, compacting, and astonishing. Art also reminds us of the meanings that are lost in life.

The head of the Academy of Arts, recalling the words of Imam Khomeini (as) that “the martyrdom of art is the men of God”, noted: The issue of martyrdom and holy defense does not need to be exaggerated. Martyrdom is an art and we should all know that martyrdom is an art that all other arts do not achieve no matter how hard they try; Because it has many meanings and it is dense and wonderful.

A permanent member of the Academy of Arts called the element of “time” a cause of forgetfulness and explained: “We have to thank Mr. Hejazifar for reminding us of things that we have forgotten; Because time is anti-memory and the source of forgetfulness; The problems around us are the result of forgetting situations we have had in the past, and art is the best means of remembering. Time carries with it myths and memories. Imam Ali (AS) says: Remembrance causes love. At this point in time, we must approach our position with the “position of the Mahdi” and remember it, and today is a celebration of those who remembered us.
