The problematic ceremony of the Cinema Museum! / Explanation and review meeting or allegiance with the reformist artistic leader?

Fars News Agency – Cinema Group: Meeting “Study of the Power of the Cinema Museum on Iranian Cinema” with the presence of Seyed Mohammad Beheshti, Habib Ahmadzadeh, Seyed Ahmad Mohit Tabatabai and Shadmehr Rastin by the Iranian Cinema Museum in collaboration with ICOM (International Council of Museums) on Monday evening, June 2 1401 This cultural-historical complex was held in Ferdows Hall.

Amir Hossein Javanshir, a cinema critic, talked to a Fars News Agency reporter about the policies of the cinema organization, and especially about a ceremony attended by prominent figures and theorists of the reform process in the field of cinema and art, which we witnessed this week.

Amir Hossein Javanshir explained about the presence of reformist figures in the ceremony organized by the Cinema Organization: This week we witnessed a ceremony held at the Cinema Museum on the pretext of Cultural Heritage Week, which surprised and disbelieved the person who is known as the leader of the reformist cinema. As the main speaker, as well as another group of like-minded people, he was invited to benefit from their opinions about the role and influence of the Cinema Museum in Iranian cinema! Which has given rise to concerns and questions.

First of all, Mr. Khazaei should be asked whether the previous railings were not to be changed and the government body was to be cleansed of the filth of the elements of the reform process?

Secondly, shouldn’t the issue of explanation and explanation be done within the government and using the revolutionary current and figures other than the founders of the current situation? So why are these people, who are all aware of their backgrounds and opinions, invited as experts and pioneers to explain the position of cinema and the path ahead of us, and we still have to witness the repetition of previous figures of cinema management ?! Why should a person like Seyyed Mohammad Beheshti Shirazi, known as the leader of the reformist cinema movement, be a special guest at the ceremony?

Thirdly, why should we witness a ceremony such as the unveiling of a book (the book of the late master Jamshid Mashayekhi) in the same cinema museum every once in a while, in which we witness the ugly and ugly remarks of drinking alcohol and the annoyance of the guest speaker and the political ironies of the guest speaker?

Finally, why should the invitation, honor, and adherence to the rotten, Westernized, and liberal ideas, opinions, and thoughts of some be provided in such circumstances, situations, possibilities, and opportunities?

Finally, Mr. Javanshir, referring to the controversies of the Red Carpet Festival these days, took a critical look at the presence of the film “Leila Brothers” as the representative of our country, did not consider the behaviors in them as the name of the Islamic Republic and called it the product of this approach. That is why, according to Javanshir, such crimes should be considered so that no one can auction the reputation and culture of the country in any way they want.

According to this cinema critic: “Wherever we continue to focus on the approaches of former directors, we can not see any change in the cultural situation of the country, and we will see many such issues every day.” It is a tragedy that a film without a license is present in Cannes today as a representative of the Islamic Republic of Iran and then its director stares at the camera and says that if there is to be a monitoring and an audit, my film will be confiscated, which is a tragedy. The approach has shaped it.

The fact that the Iranian representatives on the red carpet show unconventional and anti-Islamic Iranian culture is a tragedy that is the product of this approach. I wish the directors of the cinema organization would look at their own behavior and performance instead of such slogans, then a fundamental contradiction will definitely be revealed.
