Cancellation of the Fajr Film Festival’s Opening Ceremony Amid the Country’s Crisis
The opening ceremony of the Fajr Film Festival will not be held. Some officials have justified this decision by stating that the significant costs of this ceremony have yielded limited results. This perspective believes that the ceremony consisted of a few repetitive speeches, ineffective programs, and an atmosphere that neither conveyed the excitement of a film festival’s start nor had a clear impact on the festival’s quality or credibility.
