When the conditions are difficult, we are forced to tap more energy to adapt ourselves, live, and work. This is the creative energy. The limitations and close atmosphere do not apply to cinema only. They exist in all facets of life. We must, therefore, search for new solutions to live and keep up our work.
Crisis draws man toward realizing the depth and breadth of hid capacities.
These are, of course, related to the exceptions, since the general trend of production cannot be evaluated as benefiting from restrictions. Few people might show creativity in the face of limitations and embark upon new work. But when we glance at cinema as a trend that requires mass production, we cannot justify censorship. We do not have 80 or 90 exceptional people who could come up with great ideas under critical conditions. When we want to take our productions outside the Iranian borders to present our cinema worldwide, we cannot think like this.
