Valiullah Ansari, the governor of Soltanieh city, emphasized the necessity of raising the culture of reading and said: The book exhibition, which was organized with the efforts of the General Department of Culture and Islamic Guidance of the province and the comprehensive participation of the institutions and governorates, is a valuable platform for expanding book reading and recognizing the sub-cultures and rich capacities of the cities to the general public of the province.
Referring to the innovative plan of dedicating the days of the exhibition to the introduction of the cities, he added: One of the unique and unprecedented approaches of this period was naming each day of the exhibition after the culture and art of a city, which today was also introduced as the cradle of art and architecture, Soltanieh, and was accompanied by a warm and impressive welcome from the culture-oriented people.
Pointing out that today, in the face of complex cultural attacks, our common mission is to promote awareness, reading books, and promoting local roots, Governor Soltanieh said: "We at the governor's office have made every effort to participate in the exhibition and we sincerely appreciate the support of the honorable governor of Zanjan and the provincial general managers in organizing this effective event."

Examining the boundaries of image and text; Unveiling of the book "Cinematic Exercises"
Another part of the special programs of this day was devoted to the unveiling and review of the book "Cinematic Exercises: Seven Screenplays" by Farid Nasser.
Yahya Rahmati, a cultural figure and the former Director General of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts of Zanjan province, said in his analysis of this collection: Although today's world and technologies such as artificial intelligence produce technical products in a blink of an eye, what guarantees the continuity of art is the artist's intelligence in maintaining personal ownership, the originality of thought and the inner life of the work; A human position that no tool will be able to confiscate.
Rahmati continued by enumerating the content effects of Farid Nasser's book: Farid Nasser's writings start from today's contemporary concerns and step by step take the audience to the depths of history; From the heart of the narratives of Jabeh and Shalamcheh to rereading the concerns of the late fifties and sixties. He is loyal and respectful to values, without moving towards imposing a message or closing the horizons of the mind. The brilliant strength of these texts is that, like the essence of Hafez's ghazal, the work is not caught in the trap of definite rules and allows the reader's capacity and mentality to discover and participate; The same approach that frees the story from the repetitive clichés of the ending and connects the fate of the narrative with the life and choice of the audience.
Further, Farid Nasser, the author of the work, pointed to the formal concerns and theoretical foundations of the book and explained: The book "Cinematic Exercises" is the result of an effort in the path of understanding and writing the screenplay and a tribute to my wife who has always motivated me in this direction. These works arise from a bio-experimental period and the discovery of cormal-cormal in the structure of the cinematic text; Because I believe that an artist who assumes that the plan from zero to one hundred is fixed in advance has lost his creativity.
With the pathology of the contemporary narrative space, Nasser noted: In recent years, cinema has become involved in repetition or fruitless peripheral noises and has distanced itself from the brilliant element of making "common memory" among people. The right critical view is like a pair of glasses that restores clarity of vision to society.
He clarified: Cinema should not be considered as a drug to pass the time or hold the audience hostage on the seat, but even the invention of a tool such as fire created new horizons such as cooking and civilizational transformation beyond heating. We need to study, read screenplays and plays and return to approaches such as "essay film" and individual creative cinema so that we can create living and lasting memories for our culture by relying on form and thought.
Ahmed Begdeli: The revival of the book fair shows the cultural thirst of the province
Ahmad Begdali, the representative of Khodabandeh people in the Islamic Council, while visiting various booths and sections of the exhibition, said: "Fortunately, after several years of interruption in organizing the big book exhibition in Zanjan, we are witnessing an orderly, coherent and dynamic event." The presence of prominent national and provincial publishers, along with the warm and impressive welcome of families, is proof of the deep passion of the society for reading and original cultural events.
The representative of the people of Khodabande, appreciating the efforts of the General Directorate of Culture and Islamic Guidance and the management of the exhibition, stated: facilities such as the free allocation of exhibition space, the provision of special discounts and the provision of appropriate mechanisms for the presence of city activists, are a worthy measure in the direction of supporting the publication and fair distribution of culture.
He expressed: Our suggestion is that such models should be expanded further and special exhibitions should be held to introduce rituals, traditions, native products and cultural diversity of different tribes and cities so that Zanjan is more than ever the center of synergy of authentic native and national identities.
