Chairman of the Board of Directors of the House of Cinema: Our duty is to pursue, not to boycott
Artists, as part of society, may find themselves in this turmoil, so we do not quickly decide on various phenomena to determine which side or trend we should join to boycott or not. Our duty is to pursue.
Recently, the House of Cinema sent a letter to the Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance regarding the Council for Film Production Permits and Screening Permits. One or two people told me what relevance does sending such a letter have at a time when your colleagues are being arrested.
I replied that this is fundamentally our professional duty. If I do not perform this duty now, because we were informed that something is about to be approved, we would have to run for five years to annul it.
