TEHRAN -- The Cinema Organization of Iran supports film projects that promote hope and confidence in the country, Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance spokesman Hossein Nushabadi said on Tuesday.
Speaking at a meeting held to brief media on the new policies of the ministry and its satellite organizations, he added, “Film projects that help increase the number of filmgoers will also be supported by the organization.”
He also stated that the organization welcomes the private sector to invest in these areas. However, films in this context should meet Islamic regulations.
He also said that the restoration of Iran’s National Orchestra and the Tehran Symphony Orchestra are the ministry’s main priorities.
The two state ensembles were almost dismantled over the past five years.
