Iranian Minister of Culture and the Islamic Guidance Mohammad Mehdi Esmaeili said in Tehran on February 9, 2024, that the Iranian-made movies always address promoting justice, and countering oppression.
Esmaeili made the remarks in a meeting with foreign invitees in the 42nd Fajr International Film Festival (FIFF) and a number of ambassadors in the Iranian capital.
Despite other revolutions in the world, the 1979 Islamic Revolution features a cultural aspect, he added.
“That’s why Iranian prestigious events in some spheres such as film, theater, and music are convened in the ten-day Fajr days.”
The language of art needs no translation, he said, terming art as a professional tool for conveying the intended messages .
He expressed hope that the FIFF could prepare the ground for cooperation in line with producing joint projects in the arena of cinema.
