I am not satisfied with the screening conditions/”Darb” is mixed with Iranian culture

Charso Press: Seyedreza Mohaghegh, a cinema producer, whose movie “Darb” produced by him is being screened in cinemas of the country, said: My brother (Sidhadi Mohaghegh) and I started working in the cinema together and since then we had a lot in common. We also collaborated in several projects.

The researcher noted: The most important feature of “The Door” for me was the concern of this film, “The Door” is a film that deals with faith, belief, ethics and humanity, and in it you can see a sense of philanthropy. A person who helps his fellow man without any expectations. In our time, there are many people who want to be seen with any small work, and in this film we tried to portray a person who does not even seek to be seen and helps others without any expectations.

This producer said about the believability of the story of the movie “The Door”: I think the story of “The Door” is completely believable, we have many good and honorable people around us whose only concern is to help others. Familiar examples of these people are those who build schools or go to the aid of their countrymen during natural disasters. In the movie “The Door” we see a simple example of these people who help a family with their own contribution to the best of their ability. The interesting thing about “The Door” is that the story of this film is completely true and the incident that is narrated in this work happened in a village called Souq, and an electrician named Hossein Eskandari really did the same thing as the hero of the film in “The Door”. He did what he does in the real world and he happened to tell us this story himself.

The researcher said about the space where the movie “Derb” was recorded and the life of the people of Kohgiluyeh and Boyer Ahmad: “The life you see in the movie “Derb” is definitely considered a part of our identity. In my opinion, a film can be an acceptable and quality work when it is full of signs that relate to the reality of people’s lives, so the filmmaker should know about it when he goes to a different geography, and the filmmaker’s knowledge helps the story be believable. .

This producer said about the social view of the movie “Darb”: The village we see in this movie is one of the most remote villages in that area, where there is only one single house. The people in this house can easily leave their house and live in another area with more amenities, but their sweat and bigotry made them stay in the same area and it is interesting that there is water and electricity in that area. .

This producer said about the production of different films in Iranian cinema: If you pay attention, you will notice that most of the works I have produced have been released in the art and experience group, and I am interested in art cinema and, in fact, alternative cinema. My efforts are based on the fact that the films I produce serve the cinema, and any film that can help the cinema is suitable for making in my opinion. Most of the time, my decision to make a film is decided when an idea does not leave my mind, and when I come across an idea that will make a different film, I am really excited.

He added: I have known and touched the cinema with this view. Movies like this and the works that I have produced until today are movies that are intertwined with my soul. I once produced the film “Silent Plains” directed by Ahmed Bahrami, which went to the Venice Film Festival, where it won the best film in the Horizons section, and after that film, I saw that Ahmed Bahrami, a filmmaker, is really concerned that he wants his next film. So I collaborated with him to make the second film and another successful work was created.

Regarding the impact of the movie “Darb” from the cinema of Abbas Kiarostami and Sohrab Shahid Al-Talih, the researcher said: Our cinema owes to these filmmakers, but in my opinion, every filmmaker has his own perspective, and it is the filmmaker’s worldview that creates a difference. If a filmmaker imitates another filmmaker in terms of structure and worldview, that filmmaker can no longer be considered an author and independent. Every filmmaker should have his own point of view, and in my opinion, as one of my friends pointed out, Hadi Mohaghegh has a cinematic signature after his second film, which the cinema audience can identify with his works.

This producer said about not using prominent actors in this movie: At first, we planned to use face actors and we thought about this in several meetings and came to the conclusion that the desired atmosphere cannot be achieved with face actors and on the other hand, the story The film may be looted like this. We auditioned several actors for the main role and even had five filming sessions, but after five sessions, the film director told me that he did not get the desired role and decided to play the main role himself, which I think was a good decision. And Hadi Mohaghegh was able to write this film alone, direct it and act as an actor in front of the camera.

He said about the screening conditions of the movie “The Door”: I am not satisfied with the screening conditions. “The Door” had 45,000 viewers in France, but here they did not value the film and did not publish a single news about its release on the internet. From the beginning, we planned to screen this film in the art and experience group, but the broadcaster, which should take over the promotion of the film, did not take any appropriate measures to introduce the film, and it is clear that in this situation, the audience of “Darb”, which is the special audience of cinema, Its release will not be known and the film will not have a large audience.

In the end, the researcher said: “The Door” is a film that is infused with Iranian culture and has participated in prestigious festivals such as Busan. And he was able to get an award from this festival, but due to the lack of proper advertising in our country, he could not be introduced to cinema lovers.
