The assassination of Shahid Beheshti was the assassination of a thought/”Hanas” was ignored in the Fajr festival

According to Fars news agency, the TV program Jahan Ara of Ofoq Sima channel aired the topic of its Saturday night program titled “Assassination Story” on the topic of reviewing the films “Hanas” and “Zad”. This program was shown in the first part with the invitation of Mohammad Reza Shafiei, the producer of “Zad” and Amir Abbas Rabiei, the director of “Zad”. In the second part of the program, Mohammad Reza Shafah, the producer of the film “Hanas” and Hossein Darabi, the director of this film, appeared in the program.

Martyr Beheshti interacted with Mujahideen until the last days

Mohammadreza Shafiei, the film producer of Anti, said: In this film, we dealt with Shahid Beheshti and his personality from the perspective of the opponents, our intention was to tell the audience what was there in Shahid Beheshti from the perspective of the same people who decided to assassinate him.
He added: Martyr Beheshti interacted with the Mujahideen until the last days so that there would not be a confrontation in those critical years, even though he was the head of the force and had many powers. He emphasized that the Mujahideen should not be confronted until they have not taken up arms, and we also addressed this issue in the film.
The film producer of “Zad” emphasized: When we wanted to make the movie “Sar Beh Mehr”, they told us to change the name, it won’t sell with this name! Of course, we made it and people welcomed it.

The infiltrators do not want works to be made about the influential figures of the revolution

Amir Abbas Rabiei, the film director of “Zad”, while emphasizing the reason for making this work, said: “After the supreme leader of the revolution stressed about dealing with the issue of “infiltration”, I tried to make something in this field, the script of “Zad” along with all its features which he had, he also considered this issue. In this film, a story is told from the point of view of a member of the People’s Mojahedin Khalq organization. The assassination of Shahid Beheshti was actually the assassination of an idea and an organization rather than a person.

Referring to Afroud’s influence: there are still influencers who do not want works to be made about influential revolutionary figures. We have so many incidents of character assassination that thousands of movies were made about it in any country.
The film director of “Zad” emphasized: sometimes a platform is provided to make a film about terror and revolutionary characters, but the work is given to a filmmaker who is not concerned about that topic, then they say that this type of work has no audience and people don’t watch it.
He went on to say: cultural managers should allow concerned filmmakers to go their way, not to put a script in front of them and say make this. If they don’t let me do my job as a filmmaker, I’ll become a custom filmmaker.

We don’t have good memories of Fajr Film Festival!

Mohammad Reza Shafah, the film producer of “Hanas”, while referring to the subject of the film, said: the assassination of martyr Dariush Rezainejad was so terrible that we thought the best thing to do to show the real issue of assassination is to narrate this story, this idea existed, but after The assassination of martyr Fakhrinejad, we worked on it seriously.

He added: People who, like the audience of Jahanara program, are among the people for whom Hanas was made, but they do not go to the cinema, while if it is important for us that such films are made, now is the time to support and see it in the cinema.
The film producer of “Hanas” emphasized: It was important for us not to be limited in talking about the life of Shahid Rezainejad from the beginning of the story. We had meetings with his wife and found out that his relationship with his wife and his narration can be an attractive narration for the cinema audience.
He said about his experience from the Fajr Film Festival: We do not have good memories of the Fajr Film Festival! This festival is actually a celebration of the Islamic Revolution, and “Hanas”, the theme of Iran’s day, was completely ignored at the festival at that time, and the result of the festival was painful for us.

In “Hanas”, we wanted to involve all audiences

Hossein Darabi, the film director of “Hanas” said in the continuation of the program: “There is nothing wrong with wanting to make a film for a certain group, for example the Hezbollahs, but in “Hanas” we wanted to involve all audiences because I believe that the film should first of all be attractive to all audiences. Of course, the nuclear issue is also popular in my opinion, it is a romantic melodrama that also narrates the political issue of the day.

He further added: It was difficult for us to bring the assassination scene of Rezainejad in the film, but I believe that this scene and this assassination should have been recorded in our history with the help of cinema.
