in the name of God
Invitation to the 14th Ammar People’s Film Festival
Based on the discourse of the Islamic revolution, art and artists cannot be indifferent and neutral towards the realities and needs of their surrounding society. In his message to the artists, the venerable imam mentions this point that “art in the school of love shows the blind and ambiguous points of social, economic, political, and military problems.” Paying attention to this characteristic of revolutionary art requires that revolutionary artists have an up-to-date and comprehensive picture of the strengths and weaknesses as well as the capacities and threats facing their society by constantly monitoring the front of right and wrong.
In the conditions of the formation of the new world order, the decline of some superpowers such as the United States and their efforts to prevent the change of global relations, the rise of nations and the authority of the Iranian nation as a result of the Islamic Revolution, the art of the revolution must be the field of transformation in the country and the world. The art of the revolution should represent the ugly face of injustice and pervasive oppression in the structure of the old order and the evangelist of the new order consisting of the will and identity of the nations, an order based on the desire for independence, justice, freedom, progress, spirituality and unity and brotherhood. “Ammar Film People’s Festival” as the platform of the Muslim and revolutionary people of Iran and the art arising from their identity and ideals, sees itself as a task to shape the new world order, expose and expose the liberal democratic system, the narrative of the progress and leap of the Iranian nation and the transformation in The internal and external structures of the country should play a role.
