According to Mehr reporter, the closing ceremony of the 8th edition of the “Madrasah” student short film festival was held last night on November 26 at the Broadcasting Conference Center. This closing ceremony was accompanied by the presence of students from all over the country, as well as filmmakers and actors, including Dariush Yari, Jahangir Almasi, Ezzatullah Ramezani Far, and Sadeq Batani, director of the Children’s Network.
Mustafa Emami was in charge of the performance of this ceremony and by inviting the secretary of the festival, he promised that the speeches of the festival will be short.
An event for talent
Then Amirhossein Akhvin, the secretary of the 8th school student short film festival, stood behind the podium and said: “We are in a group of 700 students at the closing ceremony of this period of the festival.” This event is not a festival, it is a talent search event where selected students from the whole country are identified. Students from all over the country were our guests in Tehran for three days and were empowered in various workshops to reach the point of growth and development.
Pointing out that the winners of this festival were chosen from schools of brilliant talents, he reminded: The National Organization for the Development of Brilliant Talents put a lot of effort into the festival. Omid network was always with us in these years. The artistic field, Tehran municipality, student organizations and above all the Red Crescent organization were among the sponsors of the festival and helped a lot in identifying these students.
The secretary of the festival also mentioned Zinda Yad Rahimpour, one of the former members of the festival, and said: the place of dear Hamed Rahimpour is very empty. He was always with me in the past years.
The trilogy that the festival is looking for
Elham Yavari, the deputy minister and head of Sampad, also said in the next part: I want to emphasize that an artist is someone who presents his words and perceptions of the realities of society and the truth behind it to the people. Understanding art, criticizing art, and the ability to produce art are the triads that this festival is looking for.
Also, Ali Janbaz, who was present at the closing ceremony on behalf of the art department, first mentioned the memory of Rahimpour and said: He ran day and night for a year so that students could produce their own works and compete.
Referring to one of the meetings of the revolutionary leader with students in November, he reminded: In November, an important event was the meeting of the revolutionary leader with students. This meeting was very strange for me, it had important points that you must see and read its details. In this meeting, the leader of the revolution told the students that in this situation, you are the one who is narrating, and he asked the students to narrate honestly.
Celebrating the thoughts of a new generation
Jahangir Almasi also said in his speech to the students that this event is a celebration of the ideas of a new generation that will build the Iran of tomorrow.
Referring to the supporters of the festival, he added: I congratulate each and every organization that supported the festival because they chose the right place to invest. We did something.
Almasi stated: Individually we can live easily, but we live collectively because we are looking for more prosperity and more understanding of life and also to understand the secret of being.
He added: Peace be upon those who will live in this pure land and will not be thieves. I kiss the hands of all these dear ones and I am happy that I was and am a proud teacher.
Mohammad Sadegh Batani, the director of Maadsa Network, had already announced that the winners of this festival will go to Omid Club and also their works will be exhibited on Maadsa Network.
