Trust cinema Among the multitude of comedy films in cinemas these days, with the screening of several children’s and teenagers’ films, families can take their children to the cinema more safely, and the more interesting thing is that in the last week, three children’s and teenagers’ films compared to many comedies on Curtains sold more.
The reception of these films reminds the necessity of paying more attention to children’s cinema and the need for it, especially that in the absence of suitable films for children, some families take their children to watch comedy films simply because they think that watching a “comedy and “Funny” is no-holds-barred for kids; If these days there are films of the comedy genre being screened, the stories and literature used in them are suitable for adults.
In this situation, you may have seen the reaction of children who went to the cinema with their parents to watch “Breakfast with Giraffes” who repeat the words of their favorite actors out loud or ask questions about the adventures of “Motorhome”.
Of course, apart from comedy movies, the reflection of the audience’s opinion towards some children’s and teenagers’ movies these days is also significant, which according to Isna reporter’s observation in some theaters; Families complain about some scary scenes in movies for kids.
Ultimately, these incidents are reminiscent of an old debate that in Iranian cinema, despite the establishment of a working group and council, why is “age classification” not taken seriously?!
Among the films on the screen, apart from the necessity of banning the entry of young and old children into comedy movie theaters, warnings should also be given for some children’s works, such as the animated film “Shangul and Mongol” by Kianoush and Farzad Dalvand, which was screened at the 36th festival Parvaneh Zarin’s children and teenagers won the best director of the festival and has been well received by the audience.
Due to the acceptable production quality, this animation seems to go through a good process in the screening, but the important point about it is the lack of age classification.
Kianoosh Dalvand – the director of the animated film “Shengul and Mongol ,In an interview with Esnabeh, he mentioned that this animation is for the age group of 8 years and above, but the classification of this animation is not mentioned in any official advertisement of this animation or even the banners of the cinemas.
Of course, in some cinemas, ticket offices remind families with small children that this animation has scary and violent scenes, but it is not right for a family to go to see this animation without knowing the age rating and notice while watching it. He should not have taken his child to the cinema.
With a look at the ticketing sites and people’s opinions about this animation, we can also find out that this work has violent scenes and terms that are sometimes inappropriate for some age groups, which shows that this animation needs an immediate age classification.
Of course, the issue of age classification was the concern of cinema managers before, and in 2018, at the same time as the 32nd International Festival of Children and Youth Films, a committee was introduced for the age classification of cinematographic works according to the decrees of the then head of the Cinema Organization (Hossein Tazami). became
This board was composed of 30 personalities familiar with film and cinema in the fields of culture, education, training, psychology, sociology, and media. There is no decision and they should make more serious decisions in the field of age classification, the director of the new movie.
It should be mentioned that among the films on the screen for children and teenagers, the film “Kianush’s Garden” has only been advertised in its TV commercials on the children’s channel with a rating of 9 years and above.
