The works produced will not be good unless there is a sense of need on the part of the artists

According to Fars News Agency, Saeed Ismaili, the director of the Mania Season play, who was praised in the special program of Revolution Art Week, told a Fars reporter about the success of Revolution Art in the last 40 years: “What is clear is that Revolution Art in Compared to other genres, it has not been able to show off and shine much. Watching your films, I did not find the contribution of the Holy Defense and the Islamic Revolution very significant compared to other concepts. I think we still have a lot of stories and subjects that we have to deal with that we did not.

He added: “My impression is that what the Islamic Revolution has been looking for and what has been achieved and borne, should be seen in the works created in the context of the art of the revolution.” We were looking for a cultural revolution, and I am sorry to say that many of our works, because they had a personal producer, distanced themselves from revolutionary concepts such as arrogance, justice, and protection of the oppressed, and sometimes even the opposite.

The director of the mania season play continued: “In my opinion, the art of revolution has been monopolized by the government, and in order to get out of this situation, artists must feel the need for revolutionary concepts and produce works according to them.” As long as there is no sense of need on the part of the artists, the works produced will not be good works even at considerable cost.

Ismaili considered the annual appreciation of the artistic field as one of the leading figures of revolutionary art and said: “I think that destiny does not determine a positive and necessary event for the art of the revolution. Of course, I hope it will affect the youth.” We have taken the path of flourishing the art of the revolution. In my opinion, we should stop experimenting and focus on what definitely works.

He said about Martyr Avini: May God have mercy on him. I think that the organs and artists who loved and still love Martyr Avini are obliged to simplify Martyr Avini for the young and new generation.
