We need the formation of the flow of “provincial producers”.

According to Fars news agency, he said in this gathering: The fact is that because I myself came from the city, I understand your concerns and I am familiar with these concerns with all my being.

He added: The results of your talks and suggestions and demands are related to four axes, support for provincial cinematographers, economic issues such as taxes, insurance and employment, technological and equipment issues and licenses and legal powers.

Changing the horizon of looking at provincial cinema

He continued: We have changed the perspective and support approach to the provinces. Now, we have obliged cinema organizations such as Farabi Development Center and Cinemashahr, in order to speed up and focus on the development plans of the provinces, to provide a separate and specific manager and official in this area. I don’t promise to solve all the problems, but we want to take a fundamental and important step in this direction.

Provincial trips will not be ceremonial

The director of the country’s cinematographic organization, stating that Iran is one of the countries that is well-known in cinema, noted: unfortunately, despite the high wealth and creative and distinguished human resources, our cinematographic products are not produced due to various reasons, including cultural and economic embargo. Due to the dominance system, it does not have a global market. Also, there is a need to revise the approach of the works towards the economy of art and the achievement of a common global language.

He added: Another of our major problems is your concerns; We have cities that lack necessary infrastructure and lack cinema halls, which is not a favorable situation.

He continued: We are having serious problems in terms of development and we are looking for the creation and sustainable development of cinema. Our provincial trips are not ceremonial trips and will not be, and we seek to create justice in the field of culture.

Expanding the platform of private and public partnerships in the provinces

Khazaei, stating that along with serious support in attracting private and public sector contributions to promote provincial cinema, we have put serious attention on city artists in the country’s national and international festivals in order to provide equal and favorable opportunities to promote this neglected sector of cinema. country, for example, last year we brought together more than 200 documentary artists across the country to create interaction.

The formation of the flow of “provincial producers”

He stated: For the first time, Young Cinema has received 5 quotas for feature films, and last year, 3 films were the output of this policy, and this possibility did not exist in the past. The next issue will be the implementation of the “Provincial Producers” plan to allow them to emerge. An approach that helps to create film productions with the elements of culture, concerns and native demands of the provinces with the formation of this capacity, of course, it is obvious that the provincial producers will enter a more professional production environment after presenting a few films and confirming the favorable opinion of the producers union.

The need for a production-oriented festival with the Isfahan brand

The Deputy Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance pointed out about Isfahan’s contribution to the festivals that are held in Isfahan: Many festivals are held in Isfahan province, which in turn are influential, but it is felt that we do not have a festival with the “Isfahan brand” and it can be done according to the sources. And the executive facilities and economic strength of the province defined a “production-oriented” festival along with “event-oriented” to focus attention on the cultural and historical identity and civilizational background and architecture and artistic industries of the province.

Why do Tehrani movies cost 17 times more than city movies?

Shirvani, a cinema veteran, said: Justice in the economy of art is at the first level, and in this field, there is a big gap between Tehran and other provinces, and in your opinion, how much difference in cost does film production have in Tehran and other provinces? Why do we see that a Tehran film gets 17 times the budget of a similar provincial work?

Use the capacity of provincial producers

Seyyed Mohammadreza Mumtaz, director and screenwriter, said: We have many artists in the field of cinema, but we do not have production because there is no support, and for production we have to come to Tehran and reach out to the producers. There is a lot of capacity in the country for production, but it is not used; In the past years, a city could not reach Isfahan, but today Isfahan has fallen into this situation.

He added: I wrote the film Mustafa to counter the cultural invasion, but we have not received any support, and today the license to make the film 90 was taken from Isfahan.

Isfahani producer Hossein Khajooi clarified: What is the use of card art for artists, and I have heard that this card art has an advantage for Tehran to go to the cinema at least with the family, but it has no advantage for Isfahan.
