Mohammad Zakizadeh: Amir Hossein Alam al -Hadi, an expert and cultural director of the cultural director, said: “Given the easier access, the main origin of the documentary is television.” With the advent of dramatic platforms and main platforms such as Netflix, HBA, and so on, we see that they have detailed and detailed programs not only for supply but also for documentary production. To the extent that it is intended to produce a dedicated budget documentary and with their infrastructure powers, they are taking this path seriously and their audiences.
But in Iran, online platforms are a new debate, and it is about 5 years of life, and it may be early to expect 5 % to 5 % of their attention and production and production. Documentary, short film, and artworks, and we see that their main concern is the serials and real shows that rotate with celebrity -centered advertising, along with the online screenings of the mainstream cinema. . Although some platforms pay attention to this part of the cinema, documentary and short films, not as having a special box and a specific program for it. For example, filmmakers have been paying attention to these independent artistic and artistic production by creating a section called other cinema, though it is far from the ideal point. I hope that in the second decade, these platforms will provide at least 5 % to 5 % of their infrastructure resources to art cinema such as documentary and short films.
In another part of his talk, the cultural director said: The more serious documentary on the cinema has also happened nearly the year around the year, though limited but allowed to showcase in the cinema. It should not be overlooked that our documentary cinema has a very high potential and has a great effect on this, if it reaches its target audience at the same time. That is, they are displayed in the cinema and the platforms provide at least 2 % of their space, which can be a minimal breathing for documentary and experimental cinema. Along with the spaces I mentioned, there is also a TV and a documentary network, which is an attractive place to provide a documentary.
Alam al -Hadi continued: Documentary cinema in the country economically if it is thinking about returning capital and seeking to continue life, it will certainly have a serious challenge. Although centers and institutions such as the Development Center for Documentary, Experimental and Animation, Documentary Center, Art, Peak, etc. are also helping to produce documentary cinema, but if documentary and short film fail to have international markets, there are still serious challenges. They will bring with them. I believe that documentary cinema can be very good, but due to the lack of infrastructure, it can be difficult to reach international assemblies, sanctions, and so on. Of course, the government should also have export encouragement packages, and for example, to the extent that it had an international sales effect, the government should help. Cultural commodity should also be seen as an industry.
Amir Hossein Alam al -Hadi stated the main concern of the platforms in the country: Basically the main concern of the platforms is serial and takshu, and it is not clear how much audiences have for different sections such as documentary and … It is important that they are supplying. Hashor is also important as a specialized atmosphere for displaying documentary works, but the reality is that one cannot look at such an economic category. As long as a platform does not enter the field of production, it cannot flow, and there is an economic contravention until it goes into private production, because the main challenge is precisely where the documentary production does not bring economic appeal.
He added: “Unfortunately, unfortunately, some of the advertising customers are understanding the number of favors and such things, but a documentary such as Isatis, which has important concerns in its heart, should be the site of platforms to show it. Works such as Isatis, “In Search of Farideh”, and so on are mainly in the field of advertising, and if a promotional sponsor was put next to them, the platforms would have been easier for it.
At the end, Amir Hossein Alam al -Hadi said: “The platform is considered to be a expensive industry.” Consider, for example, the whole Iranian cinema sells about $ 5 billion, and this number is only a platform and some of these platforms have much higher numbers. Hopefully, more attention will be paid to the documentary, which also raises the quality of cinematic and serial works. This is a successful global experience, and the result of neglect has led us to protest the level of recent comedy.
