Iran’s cinema affecting region and world cinema

Salehi made the remarks in a visit to the 36th Fajr International Film Festival which is underway in Tehran.

This festival is a good chance for Iran's cinema in both cinematic and cultural area to show its real potentials to world, Salehi said.

'One of the main focuses of the festival is on market and buyers, which gives a great opportunity to our products to be shown around the world. Our cinema has an old history in creating great masterpieces, but we have never shown our cinema's real potential in the economic section, I mean the business of the cinema, so we aim to improve this section more and more,' he added.

The presence of international guests, buyers, film and etc. will defiantly help us in reaching our goals in cinema's economic section, he noted.

This shows that the birth of Iran’s cinema was along with the birth of the world’s cinema. This shows the deepness and capability of Iran’s cinema, though we have gone through so many ups and down during the past 120 years, but today the result is marvelous. This powerful background will help in improvement of region’s cinema and even world’s cinema, he reiterated.
