Trust cinema In an interview with IRNA’s film reporter, Masoud Atyabi said: What has happened in the organizations under the Ministry of Guidance and the Film Organization since the beginning of the 14th government are correct and appropriate appointments. The Film Production Licensing Council has become more agile, it has proceeded according to the law and the members are trusted. Ideological and individual views are not suitable for films, and this view is not seen in the current members of the Filmmaking License.
This director continued: The film organization also needs to be more agile. It seems that paying too much attention to administrative rules has caused fatness to happen in the cinema organization.
Atyabi advised: the integration of some institutions such as Farabi, Young Cinema Association, the Center for Development and Cinemashahr can be on the agenda. The cinema is independent and standing and can work now. There was a time in the past when cinema was run with government money. Currently, this institutional fragmentation imposes an additional cost on the cinematographic organization and wastes time, effort and energy.
Referring to the necessity of artists’ freedom of action, the director of “Texas 3” added: “Cinema should move more freely and in the hands of the filmmakers themselves.” I recommend that we open the hands of filmmakers for production and distribution.
Atyabi pointed to Iqbal from the movie “Drunk on Love” and said: Currently, only comedy films are popular in the cinema; Comedy is not all cinema. Iqbal showed from the movie “Drunk on Love”, people are looking for a good non-comedy movie. Maybe it was because of the subject of this film that it was thought that they could attack it, but I wish the production of such films would continue.
The director of “Hotel” emphasized: for the prosperity of non-comedy cinema, the producers of these works should be given more money and authority; This doesn’t happen by limiting another genre. By restricting the comedy genre, we only shut down the cinema and destroy the incentives.
He added: We should not fall into the quagmire of eliminating genre, by doing this we will only drive people away from cinema. While the cinema should serve the people.
Atyabi also added about the ban on artists: bans should be investigated by trade unions; Hiring an artist’s job based on a comment or an emotional movement is not an Islamic, religious or national thing and causes division. Artists want freedom of action and out-of-frame restrictions need to be lifted sooner rather than later.
