the sope international media festival was established in iran in 2023 in order to provide a platform for a wide diversity of media producers and local and international artists in order to create art and facilitate positive interactions and cultural transformations. this aims to foster artistic creativity in order to build a strong and influential media platform a global scale by

recognizing and rewarding talented individuals with the background in media. we have planned educational activities including workshops and seminars to help introduce artists to a variety of media, broaden their vision and encourage independent thinking. the soap festival revolves around the media and the new world order, delving into the significance. of local and regional identities, spirituality, cultural authority, as well as the influence of family origins. moreover, it explores the idea that discourse can give rise to resistance and opposition against oppressive powers. this is the place where artists, thinkers, activists and creators strive for the dawn or soap of justice, humanity, peace and spirituality in the new world.

the second soup international media festival was held on may 2024th, bringing together some 40 content makers from across the world in the iranian capital, tehran. our guest list included journalists, documentary filmmakers, artists, painters and writers from the american continent to africa, europe and asia. these content makers with a viewership of several millions, also belong to a diverse range of political views representing different sides of the political spectrum in their countries. months prior to the event, call to submit works was published in the media and social networks.

the second sub international media festival in the fields of television, radio, new media and a special section. the second submedia festival opened in three main sections: the general section, irib world service, and the palestine special. the festival guests arrive in terran few days before the main event and fulfilled various roles such as judging the submitted works in different sections. documentary section: jury members of the

documentary section of the second sub international media festival. sean murray, igor lopatonok, mohsen barmahani. in the documentary section, which was one of the most important parts of the festival, 28 works were selected. iran is great, this is story of german of foreign boy who was opening the uh to resettle to iran and and he's have very fresh look, very... foreign look under all beauty, all culture and

experiencing not culture shock, but culture discovery, that was uh what is really impressed me, so if i will be select only one, i will do this, okay, and well my first choice is to seven days, followed by ambulance uh and ambulance uh, i have a couple of others, but they don't come close to those two films, yeah, that will be make totally different film, that's a good movie, first of all, why nobody in the west know what soleimane, how sulaimani fight and win against the isis, six

works were selected to enter the festival on the teleport. and program section. as part of this festival, educational workshops were held for guests to share their knowledge and experience with iranian students and enthusiasts. three of the workshops are as follows. among these workshops was the training workshop of palestinian artist and designer sahat khatib titled healing stories through art. as a palestinian she said, "i have nothing but narratives, for in my homeland invaders steal our homes and children." narrative is not something of low value as long as we have

story we can continue and endure. when asked about the choice of colors and the use of the pasting. green flag and map in her works, so hot khatib said, i don't use colors in general, this was supposed to be black and white, but i really wanted black, black and gold actually, but in this one i really wanted the word lid to pop up because there was an actual blue sign there, so i wanted it to be there, and wanted the red color cuz it's the color of the blood, but didn't want the green or any other color to be, in it and also and i don't paint by the way neither the palestinian map nor the flag, i don't, i don't do it, only, i probably did the flag only in one or two paintings, that's it, and this is one of them, on the third day of the

international. media festival, a workshop titled animation director was conducted by one of russia's most famous artists sergey strasowski. mr. strasovski is a producer and director, the head of animation and multimedia department at moscow state institute of culture and member of the union of cinematographers and the film and media education association of russia. during the workshop he talked about the principles of animation direction. mr. strasowski began. his workshop with showcasing some of his works and stating that animation is movement. he clarified that although script writing is a foundation of animation, it is not the same as directing. mr. strozovsky said misun scene is a placement of actors and characters and the addition of ideas to the image, but this does not constitute directing. he explained, we start by writing the storyboard, but our

direction does not begin here. directing is the dance between our knowledge and emotions. he compared film dramaturgy to playing music where the changes in shapes, sound combinations and codes are placed in a coherent format. he added, just as one cannot dance without music and emotions, one cannot direct without understanding human emotions. in talking about israeli crimes in gaza, american filmmaker igor lopotonic stated it is the duty of filmmakers to uncover the truth. we must create a film about this crime and our mission will persist until justice is achieved. and in order to help fulfill such missions, a professional workshop on the conditions, requirements and mechanisms of preparing and producing multinational films

was held on the third day of the soap international media festival at irib university. during the meeting, mr. lopotonic discussed the requirement of international filmmaking, the film making conditions in america and censorship in the country. he also referred to the genocide in gaza and discussed the important role of a filmmaker as a truth revealer and a changer of the dominant media narrative. first of all, that conflict in gaza and that massacre of palestan. palestinians by israel, that will be inspiration for generation of filmmakers to make a good feature films. the director went to say the first. principle of filmmaking for me is that never make a film that i am not interested in. my first biggest principle i never do any movie, but i'm not

interested in the subject. i'm also not in a rush to get things done. some projects have taken up to seven years to reach the production stage. never rush, my some projects taken seven years, up to 10 years in development before we start filming. this international filmmaker mentioned knowing an international language to be one of the main requirements for the production of multinational films and said despite its limitations, filmmaking moves beyond borders and can be suitable capacity to convey a message. international filmmaking first of all you need to know the language of international communications, what is english for me uh, after that you need to be proactive, you need to move forward to help other people with their projects, and this is how you find your next film, your film is not your film until you attached to the film, as soon as i start working on some project, this is my movie, international filmmaking this

very, very uh, how to say successful, because it's crossing the border, and a film as a audio visual uh content filled with emotions, have a good quality to cross, and this is why so much in love with iran because a culture difference is so big, but that's given me a good leverage to be dramatist to show and that difference given me a very uh efficient tool to storytelling.

along with the workshops, various forums were held with the participation of the festival guests. in one forum, for instance, the role of social media in today's life and politics was discussed by political analyst dr. satara. journalist and commentator richard medhurst, journalist and content creator ahmed kabalo and tie hiki. on the issue of palestine, journalist richard midhur said, with the true promise operation, the islamic revolution sent a clear message to the palestinian youth. he also commented on the al-aqsa flood operation stating that the events of the al-aqsa flood once again demonstrated that the resistance is quite active. this operation clearly show... that the image designist presented of themselves was merely false propaganda. how do you think social media is influencing uh political activits? so richard, do you want to start

with that? please? well, the problem with traditional legacy media with print and television and radio is that they um, they used to control public opinion, you can't do anything, you turn on the radio, you don't have your own transmitter, you don't have your own printing house, so by having um the boom of the internet and social media coming to play, we we're able to cut through all the noise and we're able to reach people more effectively and directly, and uh, we've also seen uh social media bringing people together uh right now with the student protests, this has been uh huge uh mobilizer huge catalyst because people see uh someone going out on the street and saying free palestine then getting their crack their you know their skull cracked the they hate that and so they go out and protest as well and uh you know it has it sparks more people to want to go... precisely is exponential and and it has a catalyst effect on on bringing people together and uh then seeing people in the united states going out and protesting, we then saw people in france going out and

protesting and um uh even up to tokio and exactly yeah and i've been following in french as well because um i was educated in french and you should understand something that if you think it's bad in english how they talk about palestine it's even worse in french and german it really is it's so it's so... bad and mainstream media, the they even bring elected uh members of uh congress in france uh to the police and accused them of terrorism because they support palestine, and so they are also bringing people together on social media, those politicians, the young generation uh who who are you know using their influence as well through this this same platform, and so as you said it went to tokyo then afterwards and uh, we we need a bit of a julst in england because we need to catch up, but uh... this is something uh very important and i and i myself called on social media to to recall the first experience, i tried to mobilize people in america and then i did the same video in french but tweak to a

french audience to get them out also. to come out and protest, the french also have very strong protest culture, so they should, this should be no problem for them, um, but uh, you know, when we talk about the the power of social media, i think it's it's very important to recall that uh, they they know we are telling the truth, and that's why they are coming out and attacking us, and that tells you how powerful social media is, if it had no power, why would they censor people, why would they take the money away uh their living and try to uh silence them, and with that, i want to ask you another question. question again about your personal experiences or things that you have observed on social media, i believe with what happened after the alaqsa operation we're thinking like very significant change of narrative and that narrative is not only about palestine and zionism, i think in a way it's affecting the narrative on iran towards on syria on uh

um the the entire region, but also um on like zionism for example, used to be, like there were not many people who thought of zionism as uh something to be ashamed of right, mean even until now you have the prime minister of canada talking about how zionism should not be uh whereas like something embarrassing, but you are seeing more and more people even the jewish community wanted to be a or move away from from zionism, so what are some of the examples or significant examples in your personal experience or from the things that you have observed online, that the narrative has dramatically changed for the better and it has facilitated like exposing the crimes the zionist regime and just exposing all the other lies and propaganda campaigns that are against the resistant forces. what zionists say is actually something uh they did

themselves, it's projection. 'yes, every every accusation, every zinist accusation is a confession, and so lot of people are picking up on that, and that really shows you there's a ground swell happening, um, and i mean, i'm so proud, i'm really proud of people, because uh, the the younger generation, i mean, we're not like 60 or something, but uh, the the ones that are slightly younger than us, they they are not um being brainwashed like the you know other generations in america or britain where you know you've got zinism in every institute'. now it's really facing its biggest challenge in history and we are there to present that challenge and to fight against it and really convinced uh that uh what we're doing is having an effect - what do you think and tell us especially about the african perspective? what do africans share and how in your platform how do you mobilize this activism among africans? yeah i think the framing is

important so as i said in my previous answer. framing it as an anti-colonial struggle, because there's no continent that's been victim of colonialism work more and near colonialism more than africa also framing as settle colonial project, we've had many settler colonial projects in in africa, people know about south africa, they don't know about nanibia, they don't know about zambia, they don't know about zimbabwe uh kind of settler colonial project that happened in algeria and in kenya, so we've had many settle. on your projects and once you frame it in that way people start to realize, but it's important to know there's very powerful forces that are putting money into misinforming africans. we did a report on the role of the evangelical church funded from the united states that are literally saying to these churches in places like kenya, places like ghana, if you want funding from us, your sermons should mirror our

sermons, so what is being said? in alabama in the united states needs to be said in uh nairobi, needs to be said in komasi etc. and what's been said in alabama is again influenced by the evangelical right and and the apac lobby so it's all to do with money and um and what social media does is it evens a playing field a little bit because we don't have money but we we we have truth on our side we have justice on our side we have morality. and our side, um, i can't, i can't remember who said the quote, someone might help to help me out, but they say in the age of universal deceat, telling the truth is a revolutionary act, george owell, george owell, um, and i think that's what we've seen with social media, we've seen that people can go out and just expose the hypocrisy, uh, there was a woman, just one african woman in france that just went out and filmed, a far right match.
