Until the establishment of the cinema system organization, cinema houses will remain in the Ministry of Labor

Charso Press: Marzieh Broumand (CEO of Khana Cinema) said about the registration of some cinematographs in the Ministry of Labor: Currently, because there are no appropriate rules and regulations in accordance with our type of activity and they assume us to be an institution, the Ministry of Labor is suitable for the registration of cinematographs. And the classes remain in this ministry.

Broumand noted: But I must say that the registration of cinema industries in the Ministry of Labor is not ideal for us, and we are trying to form the organization of the cinema system, and just as professions such as engineers and doctors have the organization of the engineering system and the medical system, cinematographers should also have such an organization. . It is obvious that trade union activity is done much better in these conditions.

He added: Definitely, the organization of the cinematographic system should be defined under an official institution, but with the definition of the cinematographic system, the mechanisms and activities will be more specific, and the professions will be placed in a group that fits the definition of the cinema profession. Currently, our profession is not defined in any institution, for example, the social security organization is not familiar with the relations of this job, and for example, a screenwriter, when he applies for his insurance, they tell him that you have not worked for three years, while maybe the same person has worked for three years. is busy writing a screenplay, but because there is no definition of this job, his three-year activity is not recognized and it is associated that he has been unemployed for three years; Even a filmmaker may not be able to work for a few years and according to the rules defined in the social security organization, he cannot use the insurance facilities, but if we reach an interaction with these institutions through the cinema system organization, all these problems will definitely be solved.

The CEO of Khana Cinema said about the reason why the Ministry of Labor is currently appropriate for the registration of cinema trades: In a situation where cinema trades were about to be dissolved and there was no cooperation with us, we were able to reach an interaction that trades would be registered in the Ministry of Labor, and we have no other choice for now. To reach the ideal conditions that I defined.

In the end, Broumand said about the status of writing the new statute of Cinema House: a very complete and comprehensive statute was supposed to be written. stayed and the statute changed again. However, in order to pass this stage, we currently have small amendments in the statute, which have also been approved by the General Assembly. These changes are minor for now and names and phrases such as “Iranian film industry” which includes VODs are mentioned in these amendments.

In the end, he said: In general, the Ministry of Guidance is trying to write the statutes of the Cinema House in such a way that everything is under their control, but we are of the opinion that the Cinema House is a trade union and we are trying to bring this trade union to Independence will be reached and we expect the cinema organization to define laws that can recognize this independent trade organization and the organization of the cinema system will be formed.
