Mehrgan: Avini brought us to “Narrative”.

According to the art and media reporter of Fars news agency, Martyr Seyed Morteza Avini is a role model and a beacon of light for many young artists of our cinema and television today, in this regard, Sajjad Mehrgan, a young director of cinema and television, who recently directed the series “Mr. Qazi” on the second channel of Sima. He has directed at the beginning of his talk about Martyr Avini and Surah magazine, which was one of the actions of Seyyed Shahidan Ahl Qalam, he said: “Avini was talking about theology as art for us. We learned with Surah, it can be published, it can be a message; Provided that the owner of his message becomes concrete on the truth.

He added: “After Avini, we were no longer stuck between the two propositions of boutique representation and realism, and selling reality raw was considered an ugly and negligent matter.” We reached “Narrative” with Surah Avini. The narrative of the victory that God’s providence found aesthetically in the camera, mise-en-scène and words. We have learned that the fundamental power of the media that creates dominance is the power to express the “narrative of truth”.

* Scholarly criticism of the main discourse of the Surah

He went on to say: Avini had the words of the day in the Surah and what has remained in the minds as the main discourse of the Surah; Criticism is scholarly and based on a clear world view and without bias. Surah even had the aesthetics of anger. That is, if he was going to disagree with something; even if it was from the hand of the effect or the creator of the effect; He used to tell the audience this harsh criticism artistically. It is for this reason that when we look at articles, notes, reports or interviews of Surah, we enjoy the text, regardless of agreeing or disagreeing with the text. A kind of pleasure as if we are watching a movie.

*”Fath Narrative” was an attempt to control the technique

Referring to other documentaries produced by Martyr Avini during his lifetime, this director said: Perhaps many believe that this description of Avini is a kind of mystical world, but what distinguishes Fatah from other war documentaries is not only Its mysticism is Avini’s basic effort to control technique. Avini’s teachings during the construction of Fatah’s narrative, which came down to us from his friends, show his complete mastery of technique in the first place and then abandoning it and reaching a new technical world emerging from the natural world of the artist.

And he added: Rising from one’s grave and making a reminder with a work of art that is both attractive and useful and also refers to the higher world has been the basis of the construction and work of art in Islam and the revolution. The Islamic revolution emphasizes on being oneself and not being exploited and colonized. Confronting oppression in any way is the essence of revolutionary perception. Avini stood up against the exploitation and colonization of techniques and forms that originated from the western world and the modern wild world. They wanted us to be ourselves, not cogs in the capitalist wheel.

* A night called Avini

Mehrgan stated that “after Morteza Avini’s martyrdom, I was looking for my lost Avini among the piles of writings with Torq and the archives of Surah magazine,” Mehrgan said: I had a crazy idea that Laylaish was Avini and that’s it, until today. This vacancy has not been filled. In a way, Surah was the incarnation of Avini for me. For me, the article “Experimental Testability and Generalization of Prophecy” by Shahriar Zarshanas means understanding the intellect connected to the revelation of Morteza Avini, or when I read Yaser Hashtroudi’s “Print my story, Mr. Editor”, I realized Avini’s coolness (or, as he says, patience) . Undoubtedly, it was important that I was reading the works of great people like Yousef Mirshkak and Seyyed Ali Mirftah; But it was more important to recognize Avini’s personal and intellectual emergence as the editor and the secretary of the theoretical discussion service of Surah magazine.

* Looking at the world with Avini’s propositions

He further stated: Maybe I can say that people like me looked at the world after Avini with Avini’s propositions. Propositions arising from the thought of Khomeini Kabir and the Islamic Revolution. Avini and Surah told us about rationality and along with it, he taught us about faith and action. After reading each article, the world stopped. You used to be restless. Intuition and efforts to search for the truth and reach the mania of truth against the harshness of reality was perhaps the goal of our faith understanding of the Surah. The nauseating intellectualism with Avini’s writings and thoughts became meaningless for the likes of this despicable person, and the calling of the truth from the heart of reality and, most importantly, acting on that historical truth took its place.
