At the beginning of this ceremony, Hashem Mirzakhani, the CEO of Cinemashahr Institute, said: Currently, with the development of virtual space, the discussion of sales development through IT space has been raised and we are looking for the interaction of cinema with IT.

He continued: With the understanding created with the software that has more than 150 million subscribers, there will be a good opportunity to attract the audience to the cinema.

The CEO of Cinema Shahr stated: This year, only two of our films made a profit, and 4 films were able to recover only their costs, and the rest of the films did not even absorb their production costs.

Manouchehr Shahsawari also explained in this program: The number of cinema audiences this year is low and time is needed to get rid of this crisis.

He continued: Today, with 165,000 seats in the cinema, we see only 5% of them being occupied, while this amount of audience should reach at least 45%.

In the continuation of this ceremony, a memorandum of understanding was signed between Cinemashahr and popular Iranian programs such as Snap, EasyP, Fam, iGap, Rubika, etc., and the “iGap” ticketing system was unveiled.
