Masoud Jafari Jozani: Ferdous Kaviani brought the roles to our homes and hearts with all his being

“Masoud Jafari Jozani”, the writer and director of cinema, said about the biography of Iranian theater, cinema and television actor Ferdous Kaviani: Artists like Ferdous Kaviani are real actors, actors with a deep understanding of man and his obvious and hidden needs. Actors who are able to immerse themselves in the role of many people and characters with their special creativity, so that they bring it to life with all dimensions in their existence, and by playing in those roles, they bring them to our homes and hearts.

According to Artmag.ir, Masoud Jafari Jozani, the writer and director of Iranian cinema and television, said at the funeral ceremony of Ferdous Kaviani, a veteran actor of Iranian theater, cinema and television, which was held in the open air of the Iranian Artists’ House in Tehran: When one of those who We love him and love him; He says goodbye to us, it is a bitter moment. But I believe that the artists that people love and live in people’s hearts are not immortal; They flow in our veins, they are always with us, they are present in our existence as long as we are, they walk beside us in silence, they are eternal in our hearts and memories. We can meet them whenever and wherever we want, it is enough to open our hearts; They are there, they are present. Like this DNA, which has been researched a lot, probably memory should be something; It may not be touched or tasted and seen. But it exists because we feel its presence around us. Sometimes it seems to be far away, but it is present whenever we want it. When such people leave this world and before us, whenever we will; They appear next to us sooner than in the real world.

Jozani, the creator of the historical series “In the Eye of the Wind”, continued: “The kindness and cooperation of Ferdous Kaviani will never be forgotten, and I can boldly say that he is the only person I have seen in my life who never spoke ill of anyone in front of me.” He never revealed anyone’s weakness to me. Most of us know that it is very difficult to be like this. Most of us unintentionally sometimes do this harmful thing and very soon we regret what we did and feel guilty, why we did this thing. But I didn’t hear from Ferdows, because he knew the value of the word, he didn’t come to this world by himself. People like Ferdous Kaviani make life bearable and possible for us. There are a series of strange selfish people in this world; I hope that all of us who are present here are not among them, they only have one goal; This goal is either materialistic or spiritualism, I hope they did not mistake Satan for God. All their focus is on it and they don’t see their surroundings and the people next to them.

The director of the movies “Shir Sangi” and “Cold Roads” continued his words and emphasized: “Firdous Kaviani” was one of those artists who was really an artist in the true sense of the word. In the sense that he watered dry, barren and waterless hearts. He dried up the hearts that had become rotten swamps with the mysticism of superficial and pretentious games and turned them into fertile fields. He was playful, emotional, gestures and movements and with that pure and bright humor that was inside him; He brought to life the role of people like us. To experience and not repeat the mistakes made by others.

When we were filming the movie “On the Path of the Storm” among the Qashqai tribe and in the deserts of that region; On the second day, when I passed Mr. Kaviani, I didn’t recognize him, I thought he was one of the residents there. He would wake up early in the morning, go to the people of that area and go to those who cook bread on the teak and talk to them. He asked them questions and even paid attention to the details on his clothes and asked the people of that area about things he did not know.

He also said: that is, when he intended to bring a character to life and breathe life into him; He did it in the best way, because Ferdows played the role of many people. We are born at the same time and we inevitably say goodbye to this world at the same time. But actors have the chance to live dozens of roles and experience themselves with all their heart, and finally, they pass this experience on to others.

Jafari Jozani stated in the continuation of his speech: I believe that the majority of people in the world are dry lands that these artists and especially pure actors water them. That’s why we love them. Sometimes in my privacy, I really feel that they are much closer to me than my own relatives. You ask yourself, for example, why do I like a person like Ferdous Kaviani? There are a bunch of people in this world that you love, but you may not be related to them, or you may never see them in your life. Characters like my dear friend Ferdous Kaviani are of this kind and they are always of special importance to us. He was so kind that he was not ready to let his sadness sit in anyone’s heart.

He added: “Ferdous Kaviani” traditions and rituals that have emerged according to need and have become eternal like “Nowruz”; He knew it well and loved it very much. Whenever there was a scene where the symbols of such traditions and rituals were used; He played them with a strange Iranian sense.

The director of the movies “Shadow of Imagination” and “In the Path of the Storm” starring Ferdous Kaviani emphasized at the end of his speech: artists like Ferdous Kaviani are real actors who feel many people and characters with their whole being and with their acting in Those roles bring them into our homes and hearts. For this reason, Ferdows has never died and is by my side whenever I want; I just need to open my heart. Artists are not politicians; These have a place in the heart of the nation and those who have a place in the heart of the nation never die. They may go out of the body and we cannot touch them in person; But they definitely have an eternal presence in the hearts of the nation.
