The second “Sobah” festival was keyed / interaction with reference artists and thinkers – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news
According to the reporter of Mehr, the press conference and poster unveiling of the second international media festival “Sobah” was held today, the 3rd of Bahman, in the presence of Mohsen Yazdi, the secretary of the festival, and other directors of the festival at Press TV.
Mohsen Yazdi said in a speech referring to today’s complex media conditions: “At the beginning of the war, we had severe problems and restrictions, and we were even denied access to barbed wire, and perhaps today can be compared with that time, whether it’s hardware or what.” We have software problems.
He added: When we say that we have a media problem, they say, “Are you a separate taffeta?” Yes, we are a separate taffeta in terms of geographic and regional conditions. There are conditions that are sometimes privileges and sometimes create limitations.
Yazdi stated: We have to admit that we have been doing very well and better in the field for a long time, but we have not been good in the media. In today’s environment, it is true to say that the situation is difficult, but we must look to the future, otherwise we are doomed to failure.
This media manager stated: We are in a period where the past has been proud and the present and the future will have some promise, God willing, but if we suffer from the present, the future path cannot be drawn.
The secretary of “Sobah” International Media Festival said: This is a media festival and it has a path full of ups and downs. He has no claim, but he has remarkable determination. This festival has different parts and it is not only film and it covers all media sectors. We would like this festival to be real, and Mr. Ahmad Nowrozi’s view of Sedavasima’s overseas vice president on the festival promises me that we can achieve the goals.
Explaining unrealistic festivals, he said: An unrealistic festival is a festival that does not fulfill its purpose and ends at the end. Some festivals are shows, but we want to connect with filmmakers who are prominent in this festival. Those who believe in a multipolar world in a big circle and do not believe that America owns the world.
Yazdi added: We would like to get to know the good products of others in this circle, give them a coefficient and hold a good meeting with the creators of works in May next year when the event will be held. The overseas deputy has good effects, but the deputy is oppressed and sometimes these good effects are not seen. We passed the production curve and now our problem is in broadcasting because a platform must be provided so that the products can be seen well.
The secretary of “Sobah” festival, pointing out that the festival is held in three main sections, said: The main section of the festival is about Palestine, which was a secondary section in the previous period, and this year it became the main section because of the October 7 event, and this year we hope to see works that These themes have been produced, let’s multiply.
He said about the formats of the works: fiction film, documentary, television program, news report, radio program, podcast are among the formats that the participants can send their works in each section. The opportunity to receive works is until the 20th of April.
Yazdi also said about the special guests of the festival: We have foreign guests and special guests, and due to the visa issue, some things may not be confirmed and will be announced after the confirmation.
He explained about the reception of international works: “Sobah” festival, like other festivals, is informed on the website and mass media and even international markets, and international works are received based on specific rules. We also have TV programs near the event of the festival. The media issue is an important issue, so efforts should be made and everyone should join hands. If this festival is on the path of strengthening media relations, it has done its job.
In the end, he said: communication with artists, reference groups and thinking persons is one of the approaches of this festival. The festival will be held in three sections, the deputy section, the free section and the special section for Palestine.
