on the pretext of appointing the secretary of the 17th period of the resistance film/festival from under the enemy’s fire to the corona days

Fars News Agency – Cinema Group: The International Resistance Film Festival reached its 17th station while Jalal Ghaffari was chosen as the tenth secretary of this festival and it is going to be held biennially according to the tradition of previous eras, a biennial which was held in the early days and in September of 1962 while the brutal attack of Iraqi Baathists on our country was half It had not arrived under the cannons and mortars, it held its first session and the 16th session was also held in the year 2099, in the days when the deaths of the dreaded corona virus were in triple digits, with measures and following the protocols; But what can be understood from the thirty-nine years of this festival is that the Resistance Film Festival is considered one of the most important and high-capacity film events in the country, so that many managers and artists acknowledge attending this festival as one of their unique honors.

Some of the teachers of the previous courses of the International Resistance Film Festival

It was Shahrivar 1962 that many filmmakers were not interested in participating in the Fajr Film Festival in the midst of the imposed war and the early years of the Islamic Revolution, and therefore Hossein Vakhshuri set up the first memorial of holy defense films, which later took the title of resistance film.
In its first edition, the festival hosted only two video sections titled “Golden Pen” and a script titled “Jalvehgah Noor”, but after thirty-nine years and sixteen editions, it has become an event with many different sections and aspects, regardless of the criticisms that It can be attributed to the multiplicity of these sections and the lack of clarification on the reason for this multiplicity on the part of its officials, the establishment and continuation of the festival with all its difficulties and hardships is considered one of its important and brilliant features, but no matter what happened and what happened today, this festival has reached the station The 17th came and with the appointment of Jalal Ghafari as the 10th secretary by the head of the Fatah Cultural Foundation, he promised to turn on the light of the 17th.
Various people have been the editors of the Resistance Film Festival until now, but among them, Mohammad Khazaei has the most experience with five terms, and Ramin Ahmadi, Hossein Vakhshuri and Mohammad Reza Sharafuddin with two terms, Mehdi Azimi Mirabadi, Ali Asghar Gholamrezaei, Abdul Hossein Barzideh, the late Habibullah Kassesaz and Mohammad Hossein Haghigi are each with a nine-year term as directors, who can be considered as the helmsman of the Resistance Film Festival, who were in charge of directing and organizing this event for thirty-one years, and today Jalal Ghaffari is the 10th helmer of this event. International delivery.

But in the meantime, regardless of the name and customs, the resistance film festival has gone through a winding path until today it has reached its important and powerful place. We can boldly admit that this is a child of the revolution cinema from the first period to the next period, which happened with a four-year gap, and the presence of the young generation and emerging artists such as Jamal Shurjeh, Ebrahim Hatamikia, Kamal Tabrizi and Mohammad Mehdi Asgarpour, who were once considered talented and unknown youths. They continued their course in the third period.

In the following periods, this festival hosted different and wide spectrums of Iranian cinema, and in its fourth period and its internationalization, with the works of famous filmmakers in the world in the fifth and eighth periods, it evolved to the point where this important event is no longer an international event. It reached the sixth, tenth and eleventh periods for the production and presence of lasting works of holy defense cinema, and all that was said was the path that this thirty-nine-year-old festival has traveled and today it has reached this lofty and important position.

One of the most obvious features of this festival is the presence of committed artists and experts in the field of cinema, which happened in previous years with a sine curve, unfortunately, the lack of serious attention to this issue can be considered one of the few weaknesses of its recent periods. On the other hand, the appointment of Jalal Ghaffari as the secretary of the 17th edition of Resistance Films as a person born from the heart and text of the university with a scientific background and, of course, experiences such as managing the Afogh network and the Arbaeen headquarters of the Broadcasting Organization promises the return of this important cinematic event to its origin and foundation, the festival which started with a belief and ideological approach and strategy, but unfortunately, at times and periods, it deviated from this important principle to some extent, which with the appointment of Jalal Ghafari shows the decisive return of the festival to its origins.

Of course, we have to believe that there is nothing wrong with the unwritten dictates, so we have to wait and see what policies and goals the director of the Resistance Film Festival will take as the tenth director of this important film event in the remaining months.
