When will the 10 problematic movies be released?
The cinema organization has considered the screening of 10 problematic films without any obstacles, while there is no mention of their names, and more importantly, one should ask why the issue of screening these films was not resolved during the past year, so that they stay away from the danger of smuggling?
Charso Press: After several unreleased movies were leaked in the virtual space in a short period of time, various analyzes were made about the cause and origin of this event and how it could have been prevented. Smuggled movies can be divided into two categories; A group of those who basically had no problem with the show and happened to be on the verge of public screening; There was also a group of films that were not allowed to be screened mostly because of their actors. (Among this, “Leila Brothers” is an exception to some extent, because according to the announcement of its creators, there are other accusations against the film.) After the broadcast of high-quality versions of these films, some movie theaters emphasized that “if the problem of the films that were marginalized in connection with the unrest of the previous year had been done, it would have been fixed earlier, their unauthorized version would not have leaked out.”
Now, after some criticisms about the smuggling of films returned to the Cinema Organization and the Ministry of Guidance, and after speculations about the possibility of smuggling other problematic films and also after the head of the Cinema Organization ordered to seriously follow up on the smuggling of films, Ruhollah Sohrabi – General Manager The Cinema Organization’s Film Screening Supervision Department has announced: The Cinema Organization intends to screen the works that were not allowed to be shown publicly due to the presence of one or more agents who broke the law or discovered hijab, so that investors, producers and agents who have played a role in the production should not be damaged.
Sohrabi made these statements while the main question is that if this is possible, why didn’t it happen earlier? Another important point is that such a decision was expressed before; That is, a year ago, when Mohammad Khazaei (head of the Cinema Organization) announced that the names of banned artists would be announced (an event that never happened), he said that the Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance (Mohammed Mehdi Esmaili) emphasized that if an actor is banned, then We do not get ahead of ourselves and the films that he has played in the past do not suffer from problems, but it seems that the minister’s emphasis, which was raised before the unrest of the society last year, was either not taken into account at all, or that after the protests of last fall, there are new requirements for its implementation. had come into existence
The Director General of the Film Screening Supervision Department of the Cinema Organization has mentioned in his statement that 10 movie titles have similar problems and their actors have tried to discover the hijab or flee the country after playing roles in the movies. He did not mention the names of any of these 10 films, but said that those particular actors will not be allowed to appear in any works (made in Iran) from now on, and in fact, he has officially announced their ban.
Examining the reactions of some actors as well as the status of films that have been licensed or were on the verge of release, but according to the official and unofficial statements of their creators, due to the presence of several actors, they were not able to be shown, brings to mind the names of several films that are probably in this list of 10; Among these films are Sohail Biraghi’s “Ame Pasand” starring Fatemeh Motamedarya, Adel Tabrizi’s “Gijgah” starring Baran Kothari, Afshin Sadeghi’s “Kargar Bee” starring Hamid Farrokhnejad and Pegah Ahangarani, Ali Hashemi’s “Zafraniyeh 14 Tir” starring Hengemeh Ghaziani. , “Eureka” by Sahar Musaibi with Alidousti’s song and “Blue veins” with Baran Kothari’s song can be mentioned. Another film that seems to be added to this list is Hamid Bahramian’s “Meeting with the Magician”, which was originally supposed to be released in Nowruz this year, but has not been released yet, and due to the indirect reference of the Minister of Guidance in his recent interview to a video of one of The actor of this movie last year can also be considered as one of the problematic ones.
The remarkable thing about the movies that speculation revolves around is that the license to show some of these movies was issued a long time ago, but even though the makers have tried to screen and announce several times, there is still no news of their release, and it is hoped that in the days and weeks Coming to life on the cinema screen.
