The reflection of Majidi's words about the war against Iran in the world media

Majid Majidi's words at the Busan Festival, reflected in the world's prestigious film media, once again drew attention to the human consequences of the war against Iran and the harm caused to civilians.

Ambassador Arjan-Cultural Group: The Iranian filmmaker's speech in the international media was widely reflected in the world media and once again drew the attention of the world's film media to the human consequences of the war against Iran.

Iranian director Majid Majidi, who is known in the world cinema for his works such as "Children of the Sky", used the opportunity provided by his participation in a prestigious international event at the 30th Busan International Film Festival to express his views on the war against Iran and its consequences for the people of this country.

In his speech, Majidi criticized America's aggressive attacks on Iran, addressed the human and material aspects of the war, and talked about the widespread destruction of people's houses and the killing of students in the attack on Minab school. He announced that about 150,000 houses were damaged or destroyed in Iran, and 156 people, including 120 students, died in the attack on Minab school.

Majidi's reference to the attack on Minab school was one of the most important parts of his speech at the Busan festival.

Referring to this crime, Majidi directed the audience's attention from military calculations and political disputes to the human consequences of the attacks. In this context, the Minab school is not just a war-damaged site, but a symbol of the cost that civilians, especially children, pay in military conflicts.

The reflection of Majidi's words in the specialized media of world cinema was one of the important aspects of his presence at the Busan Festival.

In a report about Majidi's presence in Busan, the American magazine Hollywood Reporter reflected his criticism of the American war against Iran and his reference to civilian casualties and house destruction. This report also discussed the link between Majidi's new film festival appearance and his political positions.

Variety magazine also mentioned Majidi's words after receiving the best film award in a report about the success of the movie "Lunch Promise". In that ceremony, this Iranian director, while presenting his success to the people of Iran, spoke about the situation of his country in war conditions.

Of course, the approach of these media was not the same. While Majidi's protests against the war and civilian casualties were echoed in their reports, a significant portion of the news coverage was devoted to the success of his film and its place in the festival.

However, the publication of Majidi's words in the media whose main audience are activists and fans of world cinema is of considerable importance. This reflection caused the issue of the war against Iran to go beyond the scope of political and military reports and to be raised in the cultural and artistic context as well.

The film "Lunch Promise" which won the best film award at the Busan festival, played an important role in the formation of the media atmosphere around Majidi's presence.

The story of this film is about a teacher in the underprivileged area of Chabahar, who faces serious problems in order to provide food for the students and prevent the school from closing after the financial aid of a charity is cut off.

While Majidi was speaking in Busan about the consequences of war, the destruction of houses and the killing of children, the theme of his film drew the audience's attention to the vulnerability of groups that are more pressured by economic and political crises than others.

The reflection of these statements in the Hollywood Reporter and Variety also showed that his words were able to enter the media space beyond Iran; However, the focus of these media was still on a combination of the cinematic and political aspects of the event.

The recent presence of Iranian cinema in an international event was accompanied by significant news; The incident that has put the name of Majid Majidi and his latest work in the spotlight. Read the details of this success and the Iranian director's reaction below.

The movie "Sleep" directed by Mani Moghadam and starring Reza Attaran, Maryla Zarei and Ali Mosfa will be represented in the "Vision Asia" section of the 30th Busan Film Festival as a representative of Iranian cinema.

The success of the film "Ghazai Nimroz" at the Busan festival was accompanied by congratulatory messages from the Minister of Culture, the head of the Cinema Organization and the CEO of the Farabi Cinema Foundation; The messages that came with remembering the suffering of the children of Minab and the people of Iran.
