Handicrafts in the passage of suffering
We can lend handicrafts to filmmakers who want to use them in their films, and they can make their own documentaries and feature films in handicraft workshops.
For years, artists and handicraft officials have complained about the lack of attention to the field in radio and television, movies and television commercials.
Many artists believe that the reason for the success of a country like Turkey in the sale and export of handicrafts is their great attention and use in films and serials, and why does this not happen in our serials?
On the other hand, the Deputy Minister of Handicrafts states that during the presidency of Ezatullah Zarghami, he corresponded with the Radio and Television and announced his readiness for the organization’s interaction with the Radio and Television.
Passing Through Sufferings is a series that has aired 35 episodes on Channel One so far, and parts of this series are dedicated to handicrafts. This is a rare but pleasant event; But the main question is how much have the craftsmen used to promote handicrafts through TV movies, movies or documentaries, and have they provided the conditions to encourage filmmakers to use these products?
We had a big conversation with the radio and television in this regard, and we had no role in showing handicrafts in the series ‘Passing Through Sufferings, he said.
Ever since the Central Bank announced in a circular to the country’s banking network that domestically produced handicrafts should be included in banks’ non-cash prize baskets, IRIB has also highlighted this area in some of its television commercials.
The first character of the series Passing Through Sufferings is a hardworking woman named Donya who encourages the villagers to produce handicrafts to present their products in a small shop she has set up in the city.
He tries to present handicrafts in a practical way and seeks innovation in this field; This issue has been a concern of handicraft officials for many years.
Regarding the interaction of the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization with Sada-e Sima, the Deputy Minister of Handicrafts states: Some film and television directors come to us, but because we have no authority in this institution, we can only lend handicrafts to make their films .
He adds: The deputy for handicrafts is ready to cooperate with all the directors who want to show handicrafts and create a dialogue in this field. They can even make their own documentaries and feature films in handicraft workshops.
It is good to use handicrafts in all the films, the interior decoration of programs and TV commercials, says Namvar Motlagh.
But he complains about one thing, and that is showing crafts only in old films. The Deputy Minister of Handicrafts emphasizes: Handicrafts should have a place in films that do not have a historical story.
