In the special program “Stars of Minab”, the director of the cinema emphasized the need for an artistic and deep narration of the lives of 168 martyrs of students of Minab and said: “The Martyrs of Minab Family Tree Martyrs” is being made.
According to Saba’s report, Babak Khajepasha, the director and filmmaker of Iranian cinema, on Wednesday evening in the special program “Stars of Minab”, pointing out the need to record and artistically narrate the oppression of the martyrs of Shajreh Tayyaba Minab school, announced the production of a film on the subject of these student martyrs and stated: This should be accompanied by recognition, research and a proper understanding of the capacities of art and cinema.
Khajepasha stated that the suffering and martyrdom of Minab children hurt his heart every day, and said: If we had a little supply, we should have died the same day from the pain and suffering of these children. If I don’t die, surely some part of my zeal is lame; Because I die every day from the pain of our children.
Criticizing the sloganeering and propaganda dealing with valuable historical issues and sacred defense, this filmmaker stated: Just as we failed to properly introduce characters like Mehdi Bakri, Hemet and Kaveh to future generations, we may also suffer from the same weakness in the narration of the story of the martyrs of Minab.
He added: Propaganda, sloganeering and without research dealing with such themes and not having a proper understanding of the world of art, story and drama will definitely harm these works. Officials should know that valuable and sacred issues such as holy defense and martyrdom should not be easily given to anyone. The strictest criteria should be considered for the selection of filmmakers and directors of these works; Because these themes are like essence and foundation with which history can be made.
The director of the movie “Mahdi’s Situation” pointed to the impact of artistic structure and direction on the longevity of cinematographic works and noted: Look at the effect of the movie “Mahdi’s Situation” on our cinema; This work was able to find a special place due to its structure and proper direction. I believe that the number of productions and continuous repetition of a subject does not necessarily lead to its durability and impact. It is necessary to preserve the sanctity of valuable and religious themes and not allow their dignity to be damaged by producing superficial works.
Referring to the global reflection of the martyrdom of Minab students, Khajepasha said: “After this incident, I made several trips; Including to Tokyo and Hiroshima. When I told people that I am Iranian, the first topic they brought up was 168 Martyrs of Minab. This shows what an important event has taken place with the testimony of Minab children at the global level; Something we haven’t had the chance to work on as we should.
Emphasizing the necessity of knowing each and every martyr of this school, he stated: If we are going to produce a work about Minab, we must proceed with proper knowledge, accurate analysis and entrusting the work to artists who have the expertise and ability to narrate such a subject. In terms of dramatic capacity, this event is like Karbala and Ashura; Just as the Ashura tree has sprouted from a different place every time we try to extinguish it, the narrative of Minab’s martyrs can also remain alive.
In the end, this director emphasized that the martyrs of Minab should not be narrated only in the form of a number, saying: 168 lives, 168 dreams and 168 Iran; Each of these children is important. The number 168 alone is not enough; The name of each martyr, his interests, wishes, personality traits and his life should be carefully examined and analyzed. Each of these children has an independent world and an untold story, and a proper and appropriate payment should be made for each of them.
He also pointed to the importance of the narrative of each victim in the world cinema, and emphasized: to have a real effect, one should pay attention to the identity and human value of each of the dead; An approach that can take the narrative of the martyrs of Shajre Tayyaba Minab School beyond a historical report and turn it into a lasting work in the collective memory./ Mehr
