At the beginning, referring to the state of movie screenings, he said: Due to the conditions that prevailed in the last few months, the producers were not very willing to screen the films, but since about two or three weeks ago, the situation has changed and the reception of the films seems to have improved as well. It seems to have gotten better. Therefore, thank God, the demand for movie screenings has increased and we hope that this will be an upward trend.
Sohrabi said about the Fajr Film Festival and its predictions: Fajr Festival is not separate from the general atmosphere of the society, but there are demands for the festival that Minus A handful of films that have not been allowed to reach the festival for any reason, including the technical problems governing the film, the total number of films that have been produced or are under production, have announced their readiness and can reach the festival in terms of timing. By the way, contrary to what is speculated in the virtual space, the upcoming festival will be diverse and fruitful, and even some films can surprise the audience.
He clarified about the situation of the screening in the last month: The conditions of the screening in the last few months were not to our satisfaction. A few months ago, we had different records in the reception of the audience, especially in the months of Muharram and Safar, which were low audience days every year, and this year we also had popular movies at that time. In the continuation of that trend, we expected that the upward trend would continue, but with these events, it dropped a little and the situation became complicated for cinema economically.
Sohrabi continued: “Since a few weeks ago, the wheel of cinema started moving again and the films are gradually coming to the screens, and we think that the flow of films and public reception spread and during the festival we will see the usual excitement and general happiness.

He added: My colleagues were always persistent and I believe that the Fajr festival is due to their round-the-clock follow-up boss The cinema organization and my other colleagues will be prosperous and a significant part of the problems of cinematographers will be solved.
Sohrabi further said about the problems of some films such as “Leila Brothers” for the cinema release: It is natural that no film is made to be banned, the actors of the films are also trying to solve the issue, we have tried our best, the films have been plagued by marginal problems. Naturally, we will also follow the release of these films. The owners of the works themselves are in the process of solving the sometimes blind knots that have fallen the effect have.
He stated that in the last one or two months, the actors of many films, who perhaps were unwilling before, cooperated as much as possible. And our sorrow has been to solve the problems. We are going the same way about the movies that are stuck now. But there are other variables that are effective in the final decision to release a film, and we have gone towards solving those issues so that they can be released in the near future.

The subject of the discussion is women’s clothing and the discussion of the law of the Islamic Republic, which is explicitly stated in this load It has considerations.
He pointed out: Maybe we should consult with different authorities to see how the resolution of this film is possible. Or even with tools computer That maybe you can think about this movie. Of course, this is a discussion that cannot be discussed clearly.
