The reaction of the Academy of Arts to the events of the festival

According to Fars News Agency, the Academy of Arts published a note following the praise of the film “Holy Spider” at the Cannes Film Festival:

In the name of the God of Art
The film “Holy Spider”, which according to the director of the film is inspired by historical events, has caused resentment among the people and faithful artists of Islamic Iran. This film depicts a rare, bitter and instructive incident as an attitude and even a macro-belief in society; If the generalization of personal and individual action to a nation and society, especially the Iranian nation and the Shiite society, is considered a very unprofessional and cowardly act, and leads to the dual formation of art and belief. Needless to say, those who try to pit art against the beliefs and beliefs of the people are hurting art and the artist more than anything else.
Some foreign festivals have been turned into spider houses, capturing a few artists in their delicate, golden strings. They selfishly do not believe in cultural diversity, especially spiritual cultures, and read and accept everything with their politicized mindset, and they have the right to transgress and even humiliate other beliefs and cultures because of their differences.
