40Braids special on Cannes Festival<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When we speak about Cannes film festival, we imagine “Red carpet”, stars, rumors around films and personalities, golden palm and other prizes.<\/p>\n

Yet one of the most important, but \u00a0hidden part of the festival is undoubtedly\u00a0 its film market where some 12000 participants from 118 countries take place.<\/p>\n

Iran, an important country for the cinema, had, since long ago its public and private representatives in this market where many \u00a0Iranian filmmakers, producers and other authorities come to see films, get in touch with others and do their \u00a0own advertisement.<\/p>\n

This presence was not without some ups and downs during past years due to some odd\u00a0 changes\u00a0 or wrong decision makings by cinema authorities in Iran. Disorders and changes of interlocutors \u00a0disappointed somehow \u00a0“buyers” or faithful festival directors.<\/p>\n

In order to give a brief view of what was going on in the market for Iranian stands and usefulness of this market\u00a0 for Iranian cinema, I asked Mohammad Atebbai, the international specialist of Iranian cinema \u00a0and film distributor (Iranian independents), to bring a conclusion\u00a0 on Iranian filmmakers \u00a0(from inside and outside Iran) \u00a0present\u00a0 in different sections of Cannes film festival this year. This conversation was also an opportunity\u00a0 to\u00a0 ask him some questions about Iranian film production and the status of\u00a0 Tehran Fajr film festival\u00a0 which was split in two\u00a0 different\u00a0 events some years ago national and \u00a0international:<\/p>\nhttps:\/\/openasia.org\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/second-Guisou-jan.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

Finally, I should remind that Cannes film festival market which was established in 1959, is the biggest film market in the world and today\u00a0 it welcomes\u00a0 some\u00a0 12000 participants coming from 118 countries .<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
