TEHRAN, Feb. 12 (MNA) — Participants at the Iranian conference “Hollywoodism and Cinema” issued a statement at the end of the conference claiming that Hollywood, the most powerful international propaganda tool for Zionism, is facing decline.
Organizers of the Fajr International Film Festival, in collaboration with the Iranian Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, arranged the two-day conference on February 5 and 6, by inviting a group of Iranian and foreign cineastes, writers and critics.
The attendees, coming from 20 countries, discussed the impact of Hollywood in the world of cinema, focusing on Holly-woodism, terrorism, the Pentagon, and the CIA. They issued a statement at the end of the program.
Hollywood is not just for entertainment or propaganda, but is the most active section of the US and Israel military industry, reads part of the statement.
Hollywood not only tries to depict the image of opposing countries and cultures, specifically Islam and Iran, as threats, but also tries to eradicate justice and revolution.
Hollywood is trying to ruin spiritual values and is promoting materialism and its culture.
At the end of the session the participants stressed that Iran has the potential to become the center for all the world’s filmmakers to produce anti-Zionist productions.
They also asked Iran to help unite the world’s great cineastes to make and produce better movies based on respect and peace.
