After the unveiling of the posters, the secretary of the 18th “Cinema-Ghekrit” International Festival said: “The posters of the 18th “Cinema-Ghekirit” festival were designed by Hamidreza Bedeghi, a good graphic artist and the artistic director of this year’s festival, who also collaborated with the festival last year. We have designed four posters for this year’s festival, three of which are ready, and the poster of the international and commemorations section will be ready soon.
He continued: The main poster of the festival was formed with an idea. Considering the important events that have happened in the world, the 18th “Truth Cinema” festival, as a festival of recording the truth and reality of today’s world, should have shown a reaction to Palestine, Gaza and the resistance, and even Lebanon, and the general issues of documentary cinema in Iran and the world. We had many hours of discussion and various studies until we came to the conclusion that you see in the posters. The “Cinema-Ghekrit” festival covers many issues, and for this reason, many studies were made. We see the olive and the olive leaf as a sign and German in a layer of light. The light in the neutral background surrounding the truth of the 18th festival is emanating from a camera and has finally become the 18th element. We do not claim to show and reflect the whole truth, each festival can only reflect a part and a piece of the real puzzle in the world, we hope that we can shine a part of this light of truth and reality in this festival.
In another part of his speech, Hamidi Moghadam said: In the central part, the olive seed and leaf have turned red, and from the point of view of symbolism, it has its own meaning and evokes the hope and desire for peace in the world. In the poster of Gaza, Palestine, resistance, Mr. Bedaghi has artistically depicted our view. In this poster, we see the main map of Palestine and the light that concerned and hopeful hands wish for this map and its stability. This idea and paying homage to this people and land is well seen in this poster.
The secretary of the 18th “Truth Cinema” International Festival explained about the poster of the Shahid Avini section: In the Shahid Avini section, it is shown again with the element of Shahid Avini’s look. Light is common in three posters and all elements of the festival, and we came to this with the feedback we had. The festival posters are not conservative and I hope that our audience and all the artists and documentary makers will like these posters and we will have a prosperous period in this year’s festival.
Mohammad Hamidi Moghadam pointed to a special look at social issues and said: This year we have a special look at social issues and events around us in the country. This festival is a place and a collection of different films, and we did not focus on a specific topic that the festival would be a theme. We will have variety of taste and documentary look at this year’s festival. In the international section, the interesting issues of the world are reflected and the issues needed by cinematographers are taken into consideration in the workshops.
In the end, the secretary of the 18th International Festival of “Cinema-Ghekrit” said: “According to the names that will be announced tomorrow, I think everything that was in the portfolio of documentary cinema, they requested to participate in the festival, and many of these works are present in the festival.” “Truth Cinema” festival is held according to the general authority and all areas of documentary cinema, and we tried to focus on less valued genres in these few years. Finally, with the two days that we have added to the festival, a variety of films will be screened in the Charso cinema campus for seven days, and I hope that we will have an interesting festival ahead.
The 18th “Truth Cinema” international festival will be held from December 18 to 25 under the direction of Mohammad Hamidi Moghadam at the Charso cinema campus.
