There is no such thing as “copyright” in art / Steal from the best!

Theater News Base: Behrouz Afkhami on the third day of public screenings of the 12th People’s Film Festival “Ammar” in a workshop on “Adaptation; From Novel Until the script, “he said in a speech:” Art is generally called art, as the moderns call it, and Ferdowsi called it art. In any art, one has to start by imitating the master and writing exercises, and maybe after years he will be allowed to write an adapted screenplay. I think those who wrote the script in this workshop and tried to write their idea were wrong.

“Everyone thinks they have an idea that they have already come up with,” the director of “Child of the Morning” explained. Did not He usually does not read enough stories, but in the discussion of poor payment of ideas, narrative and reconstruction of this poor narrative is itself an adaptation.

The most important thing about adaptation is the taste of stealing

He continued: “In the legal debate, we can cultivate the same idea in such a way that it does not take the form of the main idea and no one can complain later.” This is an adaptation in itself. Of course, this is not a problem to get rid of buying and giving money to that first author, and it is very good, very Filmmakers Well, they did this in the world, they came and said we saw a movie, everyone is praising it, so I make the same movie so that it turns out that the movie First It has not been good.

Afkhami said: The most obvious example belongs to the inverted reconstruction of “Casablanca” Howard Hawks From the story «to have Vanto have“Ernest Hemingway made and the Iranian version of this adaptation is” Captain of the Sun “by Nasser Taghvaei, which is one of the best adaptations and faithful to”to have Vanto haveErnest Hemingway.

This script Writer Stated: Adaptation should not be with the fear And shiver done. To think that they will come tomorrow will make us question why you ruined a well-made work of art. This way Thinking Is scared. We are the opposite of America, they are not a country yet. They the sights They are the opposite of us, culturally and socially they are not afraid and they do. The Americans have a saying that our system does not fall because it is constantly being corrected, and Hawks This is how it used to be to tell a story About And again and again About Has made.

“In the art of morality, in the sense that we have not stolen, it is a sign of naivety,” he said. You know that Iran جزو Convention Bern is not. You as a ایرانی The right to adapt from any Source And the government supports you. The government did not accept membership in this convention before the revolution, and after the revolution, the Imam was asked about the convention. Bern And what to do about copyright law? After explaining to him about this convention and copyright, the Imam said, “We do not have a copyright law in Islam,” and we still use the Imam’s phrase a lot.

The director of “The Bride” clarified: What does copyright mean? That is, the author from the end of his life of one Content Who wrote to make a living and get a percentage, what? when Imam He says we do not have copyright, he means that, for example, students write a book, then write to guide people or شهریه‌ای He receives or uses khums and zakat if he needs to, or he works and earns a living, for example, with agricultural money. Damesh Hot, now why should he benefit from that writing for the rest of his life?

A member of the selection committee of the 40th Fajr Film Festival stated: Many great writers said the same thing about the best thing we wrote, stealing do. Because we did the same with our past. The most important thing about adaptation is the taste of the thief! Even at the Oscars, there is an award for an adapted screenplay and an award for a screenplay original There is. The screenplay award was split in two, because if there was only one award, adapted screenplays would always win the award, because these screenplays are adapted from a best-selling story. So the script Original Are also considered to be seen. Many Iranian films have an obvious source of adaptation, some of which do not even have a hidden source of adaptation, but from almost every Iranian film. Similar It has been heard somewhere in the world.

This script Writer He continued: The world is an old world, all the opportunities were taken from us that none of you young people took. With all this pain, the pain of the old world is that you also have a guilty conscience, we took something, this is not true, while one has to ask where the others got the same idea.

We all know that the British are pirates

Afkhami continued: I remember when I was in the parliament, these intellectuals America And England Hit Who were in parliament and dominated the press, a lot of pressure They brought Iran Must to the Convention Bern Join. Iran was using Western intellectual products in general. ایران جزو There were four countries that did not accept copyright law, and this may have caused other countries to want to disregard copyright law. کردن.

A member of the selection committee of the 40th Fajr Film Festival said: “Western agents are pushing for Iran to join the convention.” Bern It was because they saw that Iranian youth easily used developments and ideas. We were on a trip. On the plane, a reporter insisted that we were called pirates. We all know the English, the pirates اند.

The cinema director further explained: But now Iranians have reached the age of production, at this year’s Fajr Film Festival First And دومی‌های There were many, and entering the convention today is worth considering. But it is still not true and no one can steal from our filmmakers, it is enough to register their work do.

He continued: More importantly From those revolutionary youth of the world, you sometimes see young people, including the rich, coming together and sharing everything in cyberspace as an open source. This movement is the biggest danger for عالم It is the capitalists who take away the right of ideas and ideas from the people. As the Imam said, the idea can not be bought and sold and we should not go to the convention forever Bern Let’s join.

Great Ferdowsi Action ساز It is extraordinary

The director of “Gavkhoni” said: one the part Teaching how to adapt a screenplay is a dictation of writing, after which we can enter the adaptation, and after these steps and after years, we can work on our idea. من وارونه to be I accept the principles of screenwriting in Iran. It should be assumed that we learn adapted screenwriting and then move on to writing original screenplays, but this is not observed in Iran.

In the end, he said: We have adaptable works ourselves, the most obvious of which is the Shahnameh. Shahnameh, which is the largest novel in the world, can be used for more than 100 movies and a thousand Anime Making. But it is not possible to go to Hafez’s court for adaptation Khayyam Went. Because poetry is lost in translation. Let alone adaptations. But Shahnameh is different. If Ferdowsi had been born, he would have invented cinema. ساز It’s amazing, and if it were in our world right now, the Americans would say, “Come for us action.” build.
