Morteza Razzaq Karimi, who was recently honored at the end of the Documentary Television Festival, told Mehr reporter about this festival, for which he has been a judge in several periods: The Documentary Television Festival, which the Documentary Network is in charge of, judges films that were previously They have been aired in the form of a festival and it has reached the seventh period, which is a sacred number and can be interpreted as a kind of perfection.

Managers should take advantage of the results of this festival to make production policies, and just holding a festival is not enough, the festival is a link between the flow of production and the supply and display of works, which should be taken advantage of.

Razzaq Karimi stated: The interesting point of the festival is that both the public could judge the works and the judging panels examined the works expertly, and this comparison between the views of the public and the judging panels is important for correcting the path of documentary production.

Regarding the honoring of Mohsen Yazdi, the former manager of Documentary Network in this festival, he said: Mohsen Yazdi is one of the managers who worked in the media for many years. In addition, he had his own framework and principles in managing the documentary network, but he showed that he has a great capacity to attract good forces and creative and thoughtful documentary makers from different generations and did not create a closed framework. He was a manager who maintained his principles and at the same time communicated with the body of documentary makers and was able to build trust.
