Khosropanah: Cinema cannot be separated from ideology

Fars News Agency reports that on the ninth day of the 40th Fajr Film Festival, a specialized meeting entitled “Cinema, Religion and Ideology” was attended by Amir Reza Mafi and Hojjatoleslam Abdolhossein خسروپناه The seminary and university lecturer in the field of philosophy was held at the festival house.

خسروپناه At the beginning of the meeting, he stated: Sometimes ideology means the motto of life. The principles that affect life and governance are called ideologies, and in that sense, is there a society that does not have an ideology?

He continued: Why is there only a negative perception of ideology in society? In my opinion, this has been raised by pseudo-intellectuals. Is the perception of ideology in the West today negative? The answer is no. If we separate ideology from worldview, ideology is the ideology and principles that govern life, and the issue arises that we do not accept the originality of freedom and we accept the originality of freedom for justice.

This is the case with most ideologies, and its flaws are due to poor governance. Governance in the strict sense of the word, not policy-making.

“When we talk about freedom for justice, it seems poetic compared to the current situation, and it can no longer be used as an ideology for cinema,” Mafi said.

Regarding the relationship between cinema and ideology, he said: “What is the relationship between cinema and ideology in theory?” Cinema cannot be separated from ideology. I mean ideology in the sense of ideology. Cinema is a mixture of arts. From silent cinema to eloquence, various genres were formed in cinema, and in all of these, the main essence is the screenwriter.

The screenwriter has a worldview and narrates the world as he sees and knows it.

He certainly has the concept of freedom, justice, poverty and property that he expresses in his work. Dialogues are a hindrance to the screenwriter’s thinking.

خسروپناه He continued: “What the screenwriter writes and the thinking behind it is ideology.” So we do not have a film that has no ideology. In fact, there is an image of fantasy in the producer that he shows in his film.

If ideology is the product of thought, the existing product has a rational obstacle. We have a serious weakness in movies, and that is a intellectual weakness. How much do these films make people grow intellectually? There is no external ideological cinema.

خسروپناه He said: There should be a dialogue between philosophers and those who know cinema in order to make cinema more rational.

Amir Reza Mafi added: “Some filmmakers are more influenced by the way of thinking of others than by their own conclusions.” As we move forward, we enter a cinema whose authors take an ideological gesture, فکوران Cinemas are the missing link.

عبدالحسین خسروپناه Saying that reforming the curriculum and disciplines of the art of cinema at the university is the way out of this situation; He added: “Not only are issues not up-to-date, but they do not have a rational obstacle.” Another way is to shape the dialogue of philosophers and cinema. The field of philosophy must extend to the arts, and cinema professors must have a relationship with philosophy and wisdom.

Regarding the relationship between cinema and religion, he said: “I do not agree with Dr. Ali Shariati, who says that religion and ideology are equal, nor do I agree with those who consider the two to be completely separate; Rather, what is called religious cinema is the cinema of the history of religion, which is similar to what was made in Hollywood, but sometimes a verse or a narrative can be turned into a film, and this is how religious cinema is realized and is more accurate.

خسروپناه Regarding the films of the 40th festival, he said: “Most of this year’s films were ideological. For example, in” Private Meeting “, there is talk of oppression and injustice, and this is an ideological film.” In the films “Night Watchman” and “Grassland”, there is also the issue of justice and there is an ideological category. The “loser man” is the same. This is a significant part of the festival’s films, and the category of justice is very prominent.

خسروپناه the door End He pointed out: The directors have seen the current situation and concerns have been formed in them. We do not advocate for justice that harms freedom. Our directors make a lot of films. Sometimes it is necessary to think about a film for several years, because of the lack of audience of some works in which maturity is rarely seen.
