Critics of the Literature Prize criticized the poster of “Fajr” Film Festival – Mehr News Agency | Iran and world’s news
According to the Mehr news agency, quoting the program’s public relations, the first episode of the “Cinema Mellat” series of programs was broadcast on the occasion of the 40th Fajr Film Festival on the evening of February 3, on the Chahar Sima network. In its first part, this program was hosted by Morteza Ali Abbas Mirzaei, the director of the film “Beyro” and Behnam Abolghasempour, the veteran of our country’s football.
I would like to make a political film
Morteza Ali Abbas Mirzaei, the director of “Bi Ro”, which is the first film to be screened at the 40th Fajr Film Festival, described how he became acquainted with the art of cinema: I became interested in cinema with the films I saw as a child. My family was a movie-loving family.
He added: “The film is like life and while watching it we have to go back and look at the past, but we should not look at the past so much that we get miserable.”
“My first feature film was ‘Isolation,'” said the director of “Biro.” Like you, I do not understand the connection between my work and each other, but in all my films I was myself and I tried not to pay anyone, but my works have been produced in various formats because I love to experiment. I would like to make a political film and I know the story right now. You may be interested to know that I have been trying to make that film for 10 years.
Abbas Mirzaei stated: Although some people think that the film “Shameless” is not an independent work, but this film is independent in thought, thought and performance, of course, the Farabi Foundation was its investor. Tabesh and the Farabi Foundation are committed to supporting young filmmakers.
Behnam Abolghasempour, a football veteran, also said: I did not have the art of cinema and I am not very interested in this field, but my dear friend Pejman Jamshidi is very interested in cinema and is successful in this field. 90% of footballers were from the poor. Biranvand also endured many hardships to achieve his goal. He took Cristiano Ronaldo’s penalty and this is the dream of every footballer. Biranvand shone in football and soon reached his goal.
Abbas Mirzaei further mentioned Ali Ansarian and said: Ali Ansarian was similar to my football. I sometimes consulted him. Pejman Jamshidi has also shown that he is a very good actor. He has not learned to make wrong choices. In general, footballers know the camera well.
The director of “Biro” said: “A documentary about Ali Parvin was made many years ago and I edited that film.” At that time, I realized that Ali Parvin was directing the film crew properly.
Pejman Jamshidi’s interest in the camera from his teammates
Abolghasempour also confirmed Abbas Mirzaei’s words and said: Pejman Jamshidi had a high IQ and when we played football together he would tell me I will pass you, when you score a goal I will come and put my hand on your neck to take my camera.
Abbas Mirzaei apologizes to reporters again
The presenter asked Abbas Mirzaei what problem you have with the reporters and he replied: I do not have a problem with the reporters but 3 years ago I was angry and spoke badly to the reporters, but later I apologized to them in different places and I still apologize.
Criticism of the judges of the Persian Literature Prize for the poster of the 40th Fajr Film Festival
The second part of the program was held in the presence of Mehdi Salehi, secretary of the Editing and Spelling Association, and Amir Abdullahzadeh, a university professor. These people are members of the jury for the Persian Literature Prize for the films participating in the 40th Fajr Film Festival.
Mehdi Salehi explained how the judges of the Persian Literature Award for Films work: Some people think that we award literature and poetry, but this is not the case. This award is based on seven principles. For example, one of these principles is people’s mastery of Persian language and vocabulary. For example, we think about how well the actor can handle the language of the film. Many of our actors pause sentences that indicate they are unfamiliar with the language.
The secretary of the Editing and Spelling Association said: Persian, Lori, Kurdish, etc. are Persian languages, but it is important how powerfully we deal with them. We do not pay attention to the capacities of our local dialects. We have neglected these capacities and it seems that there is no one to draw our attention to them.
Abdullahzadeh considered the appropriateness of the film’s speech with the film scene and the element of cinema to be very important in awarding a Persian language prize to a film.
In another part of the program, the judge of the Persian Literature Prize stated: In the opinion of the jury, the selection of specialized words for job or social class is another criterion that indicates the screenwriter’s research to obtain a suitable and correct language.
He said: “Sometimes it is difficult to translate the titles of our country’s movies into other languages, for example, the translation of the title of the movie” Butterfly Swimming “was difficult, and the film director accepted this objection and changed the translation.” The ideal is that if there is ambiguity in a name like butterfly swimming, the translation should be considered as refreshing.
Salehi stated one of the criteria for awarding a Persian language prize to a film as follows: The use of language in films must be logical and logical. The audience of the “Mokhtarnameh” series and I know that in this series we were confronted with scenes in which language was used irrationally, for example, we heard them say “How about grapes”!
“I have seen the movie ‘Shadruvan,'” he said. This film shows that language is a social issue.
“We have not had a lasting cinematic dialogue and sentence for years,” said Beer of the Editing and Spelling Association. This means that we are not aware that language has possibilities that we can use.
It seems that with this poster we want to read the Fateha of the festival
Salehi then addressed the poster of the festival and said: My colleagues and I are critical of the poster of the 40th Fajr Film Festival. The other number 4 in this poster is Arabic and not Persian. On the other hand, the Fajr Film Festival has reached its 40th season, and in terms of its symbolism, Simorgh should have more effect, but we only see the end of its tail in the poster, as if we want to read the Fateha of the festival with this poster.
Salehi said: “Last year, we were banned from attending the Fajr Film Festival due to some unkindness, but we awarded the film” Indian “at the 37th festival and the film” Sun “at the 38th festival.”
In the third part of the program, Nematullah Saeedi and Saeed Ghotbizadeh criticized the films “Outside” and “The Loser Man”.
Nematullah Saeedi criticized the film “Beer” as follows: I did not hate the film “Beer”, of course, this film was not critical. “Outside” was a breakthrough. It seems that we have a subject crisis in Iranian cinema, that is, directors usually turn to subjects that seem to have suffered a lot because our cinema is against Alken’s existing subjects, but the film “Beyro” has done something new in terms of subject-finding. This film has good positive themes. “Beyro” sometimes approaches the epic aspect of cinema. This film has not forbidden the subject, but in no way has it fulfilled its right.
Saeed Ghotbizadeh considered “Biro” to be a film that has no story and all his situations are in the appearance of Biranvand’s biography. Unlike many sports films made in the world, this film has no creativity, no extravagance.
The film critic said: “The situations that have been formed in the film” Outside “to show the reality are such that the reality has been left out. Heroism must be a function of individual signs. Everything is a cliché in “Outside” and I don’t think any human characters are formed in the film.
Nematullah Saeedi, emphasizing that “Biro” is a film for teenagers and should not be considered as an adult film, said: “I would like my children to see” Biro “to realize that it takes a lot of effort to achieve great goals. Pulled. This movie is popular.
Saeed Ghotbizadeh said: “I believe that the movie” Beyro “should be re-edited when it is released.” I respect Biranvand’s character, but the reflection of his character in cinema should be formed more carefully.
All the flaws of the “work wound” in the movie “The Loser Man” had been fixed
He also said about the movie “The Loser Man” directed by Mahdavian: “Mahdavian’s work was unimaginable for me.” When I went to watch the movie “Loser Man”, I thought I would face another weak work in Mahdavian’s career.
This cinema critic added: The great poverty of Iranian cinema is the lack of genre. Mahdavian has tried to make a good connection with the desired patterns in the film “The Loser Man” with all the available considerations. All the flaws in the movie “Loser Man” had been fixed. Noir has a pessimistic view of society, and Mahdavian has rightly Iranianized it.
Nematullah Saeedi said: “Before producing the series Zakhm Kari, I had a special interest in the genre of Mahdavian works.” It seems that Mahdavian used to know this society, but now he is distancing himself from this society step by step.
Ghotbizadeh said in the end: the plot of the melodrama of the movie “Loser Man” is weak.
