Shishlik Screening Is No Problem!

What's the harm in acknowledging that if we believe our society is capable and our government is strong, we can show our shortcomings, overcome them, and not be afraid?

According to Arjan's ambassador, Mohammad Mehdi Tabatabainejad, the director of the supervision and evaluation of the film organization, said: I believe that the film Shishlik can be screened, if I were against it, I would not have given a license to make it and I would not have screened it at the 39th festival. Why did people leave cinema and television because they don't see themselves on the screen because we are afraid to see our image in the cinema?

What's wrong, if we believe that we have the ability as a society and we have a powerful government, we should show our flaws and overcome them and not be afraid.

Shishlik, a comedy film by Mohammad Hossein Mahdavian, starring Reza Attaran and Pejman Jamshidi, written by Amir Mehdi Johle, was screened at the 39th Fajr Film Festival in 2019 and has been banned by the Ministry of Guidance since the same year.
