The request of the producers’ union to Mohammad Khazaei to remove the manufacturing license
The head of the Producers Guild, referring to a recent meeting with the head of the Cinema Organization, emphasized that our request to Mohammad Khazaei is to remove the production license in Iranian cinema.
Theater News Base: Seyed Zia Hashemi, President of the Producers Guild, said about the presence of Mohammad Khazaei as the head of the Cinema Organization in the meeting of the Producers Union a few days ago: Artistic and cultural activities do not proceed by sitting behind a desk and giving orders. Presence in the field of art is completely artistic and emotional, the work in this field is more artistic and does not proceed administratively.
He stated: “When Mr. Khazaei came in intrusively, it was time for me to talk and I was talking about the production license, which continued in his presence. We wanted to convey to Mr. Khazaei the issues of cinema and production license, which fortunately They attended the meeting themselves. One of the problems in the field of management, the field of cinema, is holding a production license meeting, and as long as people think that a group of several people (5, 7 or 9 people) can decide to make an Iranian film and cinema, it is a mistake.
The cinema producer continued: The comments of these councils can not have a favorable result for the cinema. Any responsible and irresponsible official who comments on the production license is unprofessional. The production license was issued for 42 years and it did not bring any results for the Iranian cinema because that number of people can never represent the whole society.
He said: “Unfortunately, we have lost most of the TV viewers and cinema audiences with the same view of the councils and the tastes of the directors who are present in television and consequently in cinema.” People who do not have a good knowledge of society decide for the 85 million population of Iran what film to play with what theme or what program to make. Lack of sufficient knowledge of managers and hypocrisy of some of them has brought this disaster to the culture and art of the country.
The head of the Producers Guild said: “I believe that Mr. Khazaei must do two important things in order to find a lasting name in cinema.” First remove the build license. Why should a cinematographer who has worked in revolutionary cinema for 40 years get permission from a multi-member council, which is not fair? But it is the license to show the natural right and sovereignty that is in the possession of all governments in the world, and we respect it with respect. But in the case of filmmakers with years of experience, they have to take responsibility for their own work and no longer leave it to the government. Only the first and second filmmakers should receive a production license from Ershad.
“The government should not be responsible for producing a work,” he said, noting that the production license council would provide expert advice to individuals but leave the responsibility for producing a film to the producer. A legal text should be prepared with the help of the class and guidance, and the producers (except the first and second) should be responsible for the film and all rules should be observed in the film, including corruption, hijab, smoking or… which should be according to the film law. Made and get a show license, no one can be barred from doing something based on taste.
The cinema producer stated: Mohammad Khazaei, with the help of the minister and the absolute support of the president, should try to do this and return the operation of the home theater network from zero to one hundred to the Ministry of Guidance. Guidance in the home theater network may be wrong, but the law gives the network responsibility for guidance.
In the end, Hashemi said: “I hope that Mr. Jebli will also try to convince the deputies with the efforts of Mr. Khazaei that the home theater network will return to its guidance because it has not yet become law. This is possible.” Mr. Khazaei, with the help of the Minister of Guidance and the support of the President, should correct the misinterpretation of the home theater network as a pervasive medium in the judiciary and return the home theater network to its legal origin. Home theater network (Vod) Home cinema is not pervasive because one chooses what to watch or not to watch. The president must act in such a way as to persuade the parliament to return the rules of the home theater network to its original and legal origin, that is, to instruct, persuade, and take serious and urgent action in this area. With these two works, Khazaei will leave a good name in the cinema.
