Instead of playing with words, turn on the “killer and savage” task

Theater News Base: Explaining the minutes of the review of the films of the festival two years ago, this member of the selection committee of the 38th Fajr Film Festival stated that after seeing each film, such a form was signed only as a view of the works: ‌ Now, gentlemen, so much They rely on the words “review” and “regulations”. I must say that as far as I know and during these years of the festival we have witnessed “review” is a “process” and in the regulations is not divided into two words review and evaluation. When we say review, we mean “seeing and evaluating.” This process must be completed to say that a film has been reviewed. As a result, just seeing does not mean reviewing, and this is a play on words that friends do.

“What we saw at the time was not a complete version of the film and there was not even a final sequence,” he said. The question is, what did the festival officials discover and intuition that by publishing our signature that we have seen this film, (and I had announced it myself), they imagined and revealed and rejected my profession? I wish they were more careful and read the conversation more carefully. I hope they do not have this carelessness and this model of “enlightening” attitude during the festival.

In the end, Homayoun Assadian said: “It is better for the festival officials, instead of discussing the rules and regulations of the festival, which they can change every year according to their interests, to ask the officials of the Ministry of Guidance to clarify the task of” Killer and Wild “very clearly.” What the previous government did.

Over the past week, the cinema has gone through days of overnight media controversy over “The Killer and the Wild” and an unofficial ban for “Left, Right.” What was published in the media during this period about the film “The Killer and the Savage” – the latest film by Hamid Nematullah – went in a direction that seemed more like a fallacy, while it can be said with certainty that most of those who follow the news of the film “The Killer and the Wild” They are waiting to see this film on the cinema screen more than finding or not finding it at the Fajr Festival. Of course, the film directors in the previous government explicitly specified the task of Nematullah’s film at the same stage of the festival selection and said firmly that they would not show permission until the reforms were made, but in the current government, the debate has reached another level. Review “and also the time of making the film.

The story began the day the creators of “Killer and Wild” in Notifications They stated that what the secretary of the Fajr Film Festival (Massoud Naghashzadeh) said about the exclusion of this film is contrary to the regulations, because the regulations state: “Films in each of the competitive sections must be produced from 1399 onwards and in “The previous period of the festival was not reviewed by the selection committee.”

“The production and technical stages of ‘Killer and the Wild’ ended last month,” they said in a statement, but that emphasis did not appear to be accepted by this year’s festival secretariat. The organizers of the 40th Fajr Film Festival not only consider Nematullah’s film a product before 1999, but also believe that this film was reviewed by the selection committee in the 38th period. This is while in 1398, the secretariat of Fajr Festival A statement in December Released and removed the film “The Killer and the Savage” from the agenda of the selection committee and the review process due to a legal problem, and even stated in that statement that “In honor of the filmmakers, the selection committee will be invited again to comment on the merits of the film and to add it to the competition section.”

This statement alone is a convincing document from the Fajr Festival Secretariat that the film has not been reviewed; It seems that the next year (1399) the form will be filled out for the film to participate in the festival, but because it could not cross the barrier of the Screening License Council, the selection committee did not see it at all. Of course, in the invitation of the 39th Fajr Festival, it was also stated that feature films that were reviewed by the selection committee in the previous period, that is, in 1998, will not be allowed to attend, and this shows that in 1998, the full version of the film was not ready.

Besides, Homayoun Asadian – a member of the selection committee of the 38th edition of the festival – A few days ago in an interview with ISNA He emphasized that the film had been seen by the jury but a full copy had not been provided to the jury and had been removed from the agenda by the festival secretary due to legal and ownership issues before it could be evaluated.

He said that when the film was removed from the jury’s agenda, it meant that the film had not been seen at all and had not actually been reviewed, and that there was no evidence that the “killer and savage” had been reviewed by the jury (meaning not rated and evaluated). There is no external existence. But yesterday, in response to the filmmaker’s interview with ISNA, in a move that Asadian called “childish,” the Fajr Festival Secretariat released a “review minutes” signed by seven members of the selection committee, including Asadian; Of course, the manner of publishing this minutes, which was in response to the ISNA interview, should also be considered “unprofessional” because according to the principles of the media, it should have been sent to this news agency, but it was published publicly.

All these arguments and margins have been created while attending the Fajr Film Festival can be considered as an excuse to assign a film that was not approved by the screening council of the previous government and the condition for issuing a screening license is to modify significant parts of the film because of shaved hair. The main actor knew.
