Official protest of radio and television to Berlinale

Charso Press: According to Sima information base, in an official letter to the Berlin Film Festival and Market, the General Administration of Broadcasting and International Media condemned the action of the festival officials in preventing the issuance of permits for broadcasting employees to attend the market, calling this decision political and “Contrary to the cultural nature of this event,” he read.

In the text of this letter, it is stated: “In recent years, the selection and awarding of the Berlinale awards have been done purely for political and not artistic purposes, and the Directorate General of Broadcasting has never had any interest or participation in the Berlinale festival, and now this short-sighted and politicized approach to art, in Now it is spreading to the market as well.”

In this letter, emphasizing that such an action is reminiscent of the failed “maximum pressure” policy of former US President Donald Trump against the Islamic Republic of Iran, it is stated: “It is a shame that an institution with a long history has now fallen into the trap of one-sided media reports against Iran. And he made a wrong decision based on fake news.”

At the same time, hope is expressed in this text sent by our country’s radio and television, “soon, with the rule of “logic” on the thinking system of the decision-makers of this market, this mistake will be corrected and this short-sighted political approach will soon come to an end.”

At the end of this news, it is stated: “Berlin European Film Market is considered one of the most important European markets in this field, whose purpose is the audio and visual content film trade; But because the authorities of the Berlin festival have also assumed the responsibility of issuing permits to participate in it, this period has disrupted the normal business affairs.
