NOURNEWS- On the September 2nd, a number of cinematographers and participants in the 80th Venice Film Festival supported Iran's last year's riots by raising manuscripts and shouting slogans.
"Damien Chazelle" director and head of the jury of the Venice Festival, "Gabriele Mainetti" Italian director, "Mia Hansen-Løve" French director and screenwriter, "Martin McDonagh" British-Irish director, "Jane Campion" New Zealand director, "Saleh Bekri" Palestinian actor and American director “Laura Poitras”, along with “Zar Amir Ebrahimi” and “Ashkan Khatibi”, were among the cinematographers who attended the gathering wearing black t-shirts with the words Woman, Life and Freedom written on them.
Alberto Barbera, the film critic and head of the Venice festival, also signed a petition against what he called censorship and suppression of artists in Iran!
While holding a sign of support for rioters and subversives, which Western-Zionist authorities and media always accuse the Islamic Republic of Iran of using art and sports as a tool and consider themselves exempt from it, the westerners are holding a completely political show in a seemingly cinematic festival that claims not to enter into political issues,
Western-Zionist think tanks and their media outlets have always induced that Iran, by adopting political and ideological approaches, has contaminated the field of art and sports with political purposes, even tough, at least in the past year, all foreign art and sports events, have turned into Western-Zionist arena for advocating their political behavior and propaganda, which always has been against Iran.
Interestingly; Although the people of Iran have repeatedly acted against the wishes of these think tanks and anti-Iranian currents and have shown their support for the Islamic Republic government in various ways, Iranian outcasts and patriots who have sold their country, who clearly emphasize the need to intensify anti-Iranian sanctions are still trying to show themselves as supporters of the Iranian people and advance their anti-national and separatist goals by staging these kinds of shows.
Beyond that; The anti-Iranian currents are still unable to answer the question of the nation of Iran, that if the issue is really is to support Iran and its people, why the claimants of support for Iranian nation, don’t hold up images of martyrs whom have been killed by hand of the US and the Zionist regime and their systematic terrorism even once in these gatherings?
And more importantly; Why do Western countries and claimants’ freedom of speech not allow even the slightest criticism in their countries and have the most severe dealings with critics? In which of these so-called free countries are anti-security behaviors allowed?
It goes without saying that the hands of the divided enemy are empty for confronting the will of the nation of Iran and the only thing they have grasped is to present an upside down and false image of the Iranian society and the government of the Islamic Republic to the world so that they can use international pressure to express their anti-patriotic intentions under the pretext of last year riots.
