Shahram Gilabadi, the producer of the movie “Party from the Caribbean” directed by Behzad Farahani, whose filming was completed last month, said about the latest status of this movie: The filming of this movie has been completed and it is going through the post-production stages.
He explained about the story of the film: The secondary story of the film is about a different love between the tailor of our film and a traveler who comes from the Caribbean, but the main story of the film is about an Iranian love with collective character and mysticism.
This producer said about the locations of the film and the difficulties caused by the corona virus: According to the context in which the film was designed, “Party from the Caribbean” was filmed in 30 locations. The main location was an old house that could depict this romantic relationship. Filming was very difficult and complicated due to the presence of the corona virus, but we tried to follow the protocols and, thank God, there were no problems during the filming stage.
Gilabadi mentioned in another part of his talk about his other activities: I am working on three movies; The production of the first 2 films, one of which is in the writing stage and the other one is about to start pre-production, and I will direct my own screenplay, but I am currently waiting for an investor to start pre-production, and I have also prepared a play called “627”. We are waiting for the improvement of the Corona situation.
This theater activist stated about the preference of working in theater or cinema: The fact is that since I was a child and in 1957, I worked in three visual fields, theater and cinema, my activity in these fields depends on which field has a better language to present my point of view. In my opinion, each of them is a powerful medium with which you can have a narrative that is different from the other, and that narrative depends on our work.
Corona created a new market in cinema. The producer of “Turtle and Snail” added: None of these areas is better than the other, but theater is a serious nostalgia for me, whether on stage or on the radio. We started working in the field of film with the first series of Young Cinema in 1364, 1965 onwards in Khorramabad, and I was always active in the fields of theater and visualization, everything depended on the narrative I wanted to have about a subject.
He stressed about the state of cinema these days: In my opinion, people are hungry to come to movie theaters, but the corona virus caused a fundamental change in the cinema market and a market was formed in this field, which was also the development of VODs, but because the foundation of this platform in our country was formed based on capital, not based on services. Cultural and artistic, one day it will fail because this new market is a weak competitive market in our country. VODs in other countries don’t work like this and they have close competition but at the same time very honorable. Corona caused the emergence of a new market in the cinema, which is in line with a future study in the world that was going its way, but the spread of the corona virus, unemployment and other areas caused us to speed up in entering the space of this new market.
Gilabadi at the end of the title of Kozd: Marketing, marketing and the emergence of new markets need the development of communication. In my opinion, Corona forced us to go to new markets and create new markets, which we must systematize, and if we do not manage to do this, we have failed. We experience something that the world moved in its image and concluded, we have the platform but our experience is not the right experience.
