The judge of the theater section of the “Art is Alive” festival said: “The theater section of this festival was beyond our imagination and the number of participants from the cities was very significant.” We have good jobs, but of course there were some not-so-good ones.
In an interview with IRNA, Marzieh Boroumand said about the quality of the works in the “Art is Alive” festival: “The conditions were promising and we realized that art is alive and breathing and even growing in these conditions.” The aim of the festival was to encourage artists across the country to work hard in these conditions. Look forward to the future and grow up.
She added: “This point of view is very praiseworthy and it was hopeful for us as well; Because when we see that young people are dynamic and work hopefully, we also hope to work and be with young people.
The director of the movie City of Mice said: “The efforts of Behrouz Gharibpour and their companions are commendable because this festival was very large. Of course, there were many problems ahead of the festival, including corona and economic problems, but despite all this, they worked well and clean.” I hope that the next few days, which are the most important part of the festival, will go well and successfully like the other parts.
In the first place, the presence of a large number of artists from the cities and in the second place, the presence of women in this festival, even from distant cities, is praiseworthy. I wish the best for all the artists present in the “Art is Alive” festival.
