Peyman Ghasemkhani Harshly Criticizes IRIB's Customized Cuts: 'When You Decide on Behalf of the People, You Destroy the Audience's Right to Choose' / Video

Peyman Ghasemkhani, the well-known screenwriter and director of cinema and television, sharply criticized the filtering practices and censorship imposed by IRIB. He stressed that instead of trusting audiences' intelligence, the broadcaster restricts people's right to choose and effectively decides what society may or may not see.

Peyman Ghasemkhani, a well-known film and television screenwriter and director, strongly criticized the filtering and censorship procedures applied in the Broadcasting Organization and emphasized that instead of trusting the intelligence of the audience, this media limits people's right to choose and actually determines what the society can see or not see.

Peyman Ghasemkhani, one of the prominent and veteran figures in the field of writing and directing, spoke frankly about the ruling procedure of the broadcasting organization in dealing with video content and audiences.

Referring to the pervasive amount of censorship in the national media, he said: "Sadasima practically decides what people see and what they don't see. In this existing space, instead of trusting the intelligence and power of choice of the audience, some of the reality and content are filtered in advance and only the amount of productions that are absolutely approved by this organization are broadcasted.

This prominent cinematographer continued by explaining the consequences of this exclusive approach and noted: "When a media chooses instead of people, we are no longer only on the side of a phenomenon called censorship; Rather, we are directly facing limiting the audience's right to choose and ignoring society."
