Why didn’t the movie version of Ibrahim Hadi’s animation reach the public screening? – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news
Esdaleh Diyanti, the producer of the animated film “B Plak” directed by Ismail Yousefi, in a conversation with Mehr reporter, explained about this work: At the same time as the process of making the animated series “Salam Bar Ibrahim”, which is still being produced and broadcast, we were thinking about the idea that No animation with 4K quality has been produced yet in the medium of cinema. In the field of war and holy defense cinema, we didn’t have any animation. For this reason, by reviewing the entire project, we shortened the script and got an output of 85 minutes.
He continued: Of course, the quality you see in the movie version is not in the series. Some scenes have even been remade and some scenes have been added to the work, some frames have also been changed. In general, we produced an abstract of Ibrahim Hadi’s presence in the Fatah Al-Mobin and Wal-Fajr operations, which lead to his martyrdom in the Kamil Canal incident, in the form of a 4K quality cinematic narrative.
Dianti said: Omid network had aired this movie version once, but since the radio and television policy was to give priority to airing the serial version, the movie version was left to be aired in the form of public screenings during the holy defense week. We started These public screenings of Ibrahim Hadi’s tomb in Behesht Zahra (s) It started and we are considering other centers in the cities.
We stayed away for the public screening, but…
He also said about the public screening of this work in cinemas: We do not have a serious decision in this field, because considering that the owner of the work is the Broadcasting Organization, it has a detailed process to follow, and for this reason, we have decided to screen the work in the form of public screenings. publish
While explaining the technical aspects of converting the serial version into a movie version, the producer of “B Plak” said: Our initial plan was to release the movie version in theaters first. We even had negotiations with Ershad and related legal bodies and we were moving things forward. We were also looking for the film to appear in the Fajr festival, but the politics of the radio and television went in the direction of airing the series first. Since September of last year, the serial version was placed in the conductor of TV channels, and unfortunately we missed the opportunity to release the movie version.
Dianti also said about the planning for public screenings of the film: public screenings in schools will start this week and we have plans for screenings in cities. We also have requests for public screening. We are designing a screening package so that the film will be shown city by city. The first movie version of this animation was about 100 minutes long, which we screened on Kamil channel for the first time. We were mostly looking for feedback. Currently, the series continues to air, and at the same time, 2 capable teams are writing 2 other movie versions of the work. We are still looking for feedbacks in public screenings. Three more serial seasons and 2 more movie versions of this work will be produced in the future.
Our audience is teenagers, not children
The producer of “B Plak” explained about the ratio of this animation to children and teenagers: When we started the pre-production work, we were told by the radio and television that your main audience is children and teenagers. We also tried to make things happen with the same approach. In the middle of the production and later after the broadcast of the first episodes on the Three TV channel, we held several other meetings with the radio and television authorities to reach the conclusion that we should avoid the children’s audience and go towards the teenage audience. At the same time, we pay attention to the general audience. This policy was also considered in the production of the next seasons and the movie version, and the main audience of the work is teenagers. Today’s generation is more understanding and I think today’s children can easily relate to the themes of this work.
Diyanti also said about paying attention to the diverse tastes and viewpoints in the society in creating a cinematic narrative of martyr Ibrahim Hadi: Basically, martyr Hadi has been the focus of all intellectual groups, and if you visit the memorial tomb of this martyr during the week, you will see that people from Different classes and groups are there to pay their respects. In the commemoration held recently for this martyr, it was interesting to me that there were people from different intellectual factions among the speakers and they all spoke about the martyr Hadi.
He emphasized: Most of the martyrs have the same characteristic and because they were not one-dimensional people, most of the people communicate with them. People may have different intellectual factions on different issues, but when the issue of martyrs is involved, these boundaries disappear. Our effort in making this work was to be able to communicate with people from different intellectual factions.
