Trust cinema Ham Mihan newspaper wrote: These days, there are more speculations about the new head of the cinema organization and his deputies, and some of the same middle managers in the cinema organization are struggling to keep their desks. including the director of the supervision department of the cinema organization. That is, exactly one of the posts that has become a checkpoint in the cinema organization and has faced many cinematographers with taste, political and factional bumps. In fact, one of the bottlenecks that has accompanied the path of Iranian cinema with obstruction, narrow-mindedness and audit is trying to continue sitting behind its desk, and this is exactly the opposite of the slogan of the government and the new minister, whose slogan is unity in cinema. Someone who played an important role in the gap between the government and cinematographers with his performance in the last few years is now trying to stay in harmony with the government.
It is obvious that the continued presence of managers like Ruhollah Sohrabi and the continuation of the same policies are exactly in contradiction with the slogan of the national unity. He has played an important role in creating a bipolarity between the cinema house and the cinema organization, and certainly the dialogue and empathy between these two trade and government institutions, which is one of the most important strategic and strategic examples for reconciliation in cinema, cannot be realized with the presence of managers like him. is Cultural and artistic directors whose actions have led to the creation of a bipolar atmosphere or exacerbated it in the past few years, not only cannot help the realization of the slogan of national unity in cinema, they are also hindering it.
Probably, in a few days, it will be known who will take the helm of the film organization and which film team will enter the management field, but what is necessary is the suitability of this choice with the slogan of National Unity as the new government’s macro policy. The fact is that filmmakers are worried. Are you worried whether the same people from the previous government will be present in the possible team of “Salehi” and the new arrangement of the cinema organization, and whether the figures who created polarizers after 1401 in this organization are still going to stay at work? Are we going to face the maintenance of the current approach and managers in the cinema organization, or will there be a fundamental change and an effective transformation in the arrangement of the management body of the cinema?
In fact, the main concern of cinematographers is that the cinema organization should be a cultural institution and not become a political and security institution like in recent years. Some of the former directors and vice-presidents of this organization who had a taste for security are still behind the scenes trying to maintain their survival, while the secret of their survival is the extension of the same security approach in the field of culture and art, which fuels division and bipolarity. The government, whose slogan is national unity, should be careful that the polarizers behind the mask and the tunnels of lobbyists do not block the creation of the groundwork for the realization of the slogan of unity in the cinema.
Most of the mainstream cinema artists, not the current market stream, are dissatisfied with the three-year policies of the cinema organization and demand serious and immediate change in this field. The role of those who in the past three years and the previous government were effective in causing the dissatisfaction of cinematographers is clear, and it is expected that the figures who have intensified the distance between artists and the cinema organization by creating bipolarity and creating dissatisfaction, will no longer be present in the management and decision-making circle. to be Those who didn’t let filmmakers like Saeed Raushi, who poured new blood into Iran’s social cinema, face ban and deprivation.
The director who made the film “Leila’s Brothers” on the pretext of not censoring the sequence of Leila slapping her father and facing the detention and even a court of the filmmaker, definitely cannot be a suitable director for the national unity government. They, who paved the way for the expansion of vulgar cinema and low comedy films by restricting and denying serious filmmakers who made critical works, cannot help the agreement of the statesmen and cinematographers.
We need cultural security in the field of cinema and on a larger level in the field of culture, not a security culture in cinema. The cinema organization needs managers who can give cinema and cinematographers a sense of security so that empathy and consensus can be created. The polarizers of the past cannot be claimants of reconciliation in the new government.
