People within close circle of Imam through a series of memories have called that the leader of contemporary Muslim world wanted to promote such an art and cinema which don’t contradict spiritual and humanistic values. He also expected cinema and cultural authorities to spread decency in the society and reflect history and grandeur o f the nation
Imam viewed cinema a window towards observation of the society.
All movies, plays and stage dramas might portray perception of their community and surroundings.
In fact between cinema and the society there institutes a conversation and dialogue in both sides of which the current word and speech is promoted in order to reveal its reality and truthfulness.
Cinema must raise problems facing the society and present a viable solution in this regard.
