The Venue address

EVERYONE Has Been INVITED
Ticket is Free Of Charge

Welcome to The Sahar International Short Film Festival 2024.
We have reached the announcement time. We are proud to present 28 short films, each with a great story to tell. Brave filmmakers whose stories sometimes came from personal dreams or nightmares and sometimes inspired by the surrounding environment or noble and honest narrators for the ancient legends of their land to introduce us to the unwritten culture and secrets of this vast world. Please accept our thanks.
This year, among the 28 selected films, we have carefully reviewed the films whose production has ended the current year or were from the premiere films section. It was difficult to select the best film of the festival, But with a lot of effort, Seven films were selected from the premiere category submitted films. "Follow Your Dream" was not judged because the filmmaker was actually the jury of the festival. Therefore honestly, she withdrew her participation from the competition category in favor of other filmmakers. The selected films along with the trailers of all official selection films will be screened to the public from 14:00 to 16:00 in the cultural hall of the Oldham Library: "Performance Space".

It is not mandatory to pay for the ticket to attend this event but to reserve your seat, please contact the Sahar Festival email address. We will be very grateful and proud of your company.

به جشنواره بین المللی فیلم کوتاه سحر 2024

خوش آمدید.

به زمان اعلام رسمی فیلم های منتخب امسال رسیدیم. ما مفتخریم که 28 فیلم کوتاه منتخب را از بین فیلم های ارسالی برگزیدیم که هر کدام داستانی شگفت برای گفتن دارند. فیلمسازان شجاعی که داستانشان گاه برگرفته از رویاها یا کابوس های شخصی و گاه برگرفته از محیط اطراف است و یا راویانی نجیب و صادق هستند برای افسانه های کهن سرزمینشان تا ما را با فرهنگ نانوشته و رازهای این دنیای پهناورآشنا کنند. لطفا تشکر ما را بپذیرید

امسال در بین 28 فیلم منتخب، تنها بخش

فیلم های پریمیر یا فیلم هایی که تولیدشان در سال

جاری به پایان رسیده است, مورد بازنگری قرار گرفت. انتخاب بخش فیلم های بهترین جشنواره, برای ما دشوار بود اما با تانی بسیار بالاخره هفت فیلم انتخاب شد. فیلم رویای خود را دنبال کن مورد داوری قرار نگرفت چون فیلمساز در واقع همان داور جشنواره بود. پس صادقانه از حیطه بخش رقابتی انصراف داد. و اما فیلم های برگزیده به همراه تریلر تمامی فیلم ها از ساعت 14 تا 16 عصر در سالن فرهنگی کتابخانه اولدهام به نمایش عموم در خواهد آمد. پرداخت بلیت حضور در این مراسم اجباری نیست اما برای رزرو صندلی خود لطفا با آدرس ایمیل SaharFestival2024@gmail.com

از شرکت شما بسیار سپاسگزار و

مفتخر خواهیم بود

Those who pass by Santa Clara ( Azores ) can contemplate the view of sparkling strings in the same tone as the
reflection of fish in the sea. But these strings move on the earth. Those who build them are also on land but

play with their strings from the sea to the land and with the wind, they dance together the same melody.

Briefly, I would like to give an explanation about my field of work. What is the difference between art film and blockbuster and Hollywood films?
I express frankly that blockbuster and Hollywood movies are basically movies that are made with the purpose of box office and entertainment. Finding the audience and attracting them is a priority. Usually, blockbuster filmmakers prepare and produce their works in five famous studios of the Hollywood market. But an art film is a film for which the box office is not a priority. It has a special audience and the quality of the film is based on the poetic or art world. Films that have something to say and are usually screened at festivals. Their goal is not for the box office, that's why their film is very close to the filmmaker's world or point of view. They do not have huge studios with huge resources, and independent and emerging filmmakers always express themselves in the art house and art cinema.
An arthouse film is typically an independent film, aimed at a niche market rather than a commercial and mass market audience.

In total: cinematic events related to Hollywood movies are usually designed in such a way as to make a high earning potential. They have high production costs, with large marketing budgets, respectively. They work extensively on marketing, and the result of their work is simultaneous screening in thousands of cinemas around the world.

But sometimes their films are empty of meaning and are only made for entertainment to satisfy what they assume to be ordinary people's taste in order to guarantee their box office and budget at any cost. But the artistic filmmaker looking for questions and asking for humane answers, he or she has the idea of changing the world for the better, and he or she is basically an idealistic human who encourages the audience to think after the end of the film. His or her film shows a hidden corner of dilemmas and problems of human societies, damage and vulnerable people's life story is usually a prominent part of their films, which is ignored by the Hollywood film industry and the commercial world, and this indeed reflects the micro and macro social, economic and political results of the governments' political policies.

Anyway, I personally respect all emerging and talented Filmmakers who are looking for an experience and wish great success for each one of you who has an ambition to reach their goal for the art world or Hollywood blockbuster and famous cinema.

به طور مختصر مایل هستم

که توضیحی در زمینه حیطه کاری خود ارایه دهم.
به راستی فرق بین فیلم هنری با

فیلم های پرفروش (بلاکباستر) و هالیوودی در چیست؟
فیلم های هالیوودی اساسا

فیلم هایی هستند که با هدف گیشه و سرگرمی ساخته می شوند. مخاطب و جذب آنان در اولویت است . معمولا این فیلم سازان مطرح و حرفه ای در پنج استودیوی معروف بازار هالیوود کارهای خود را تهیه و تولیدمی کنند. اما فیلم هنری فیلمی است که گیشه حرف اول را برایش نمی زند. مخاطب خاص دارد و کیفیت فیلم ها بر اساس نگاهی معناگرا، شعرگونه وهنرمندانه ساخته می شود. فیلم هایی که حرفی برای گفتن دارند و در جشنواره ها معمولا اکران می شوند. هدفشان گیشه نیست به همین دلیل به دنیای فیلمساز بسیار نزدیک است. استودیوهای عریض و طویل باهزینه های هنگفت تولید ندارند و همیشه فیلمسازان مستقل و نوظهور کار خود را در خانه هنر و سینمای هنری به معرض دید همگان قرارمی دهند. یک فیلم هنری،معمولاً یک فیلم مستقل است که به جای مخاطبان بازار انبوه، یک بازار خاص را (اصطلاحا به آن طاقچه گفته می شود) هدف قرار

می دهد
در مجموع: رویدادهای سینمایی

مربوط به فیلم های هالیوودی معمولا به گونه‌ای طراحی شده‌اند که پتانسیل درآمدزایی بالایی ایجاد کنند. آنها دارای هزینه های تولید بالا، با بودجه بازاریابی زیادی هستند. برروی مارکتینگ به طور گسترده کار می کنند و نتیجه کار آنها اکران همزمان در هزاران سینما در سراسر جهان است اما گاهی فیلم هایشان از معنا تهی است و تنها به گونه ای برای سرگرمی ساخته می شوند که با ذایقه عامه پسند همسو باشند تا گیشه و بودجه خود را به هر قیمتی تامین کنند خود را در قبال جامعه مسوول نمی دانند و مرزشان تنها قوانین کشوری است تا از آسیب حقوقی و حقیقی مصون بمانند.اما فیلمساز هنری به دنبال طرح سوال است وپاسخ های انسانی درخواست می کند، در سر اندیشه تغییر جهان را به نحوی مطلوب دارد و اساسا انسانی آرمانگراست که مخاطب را پس از پایان فیلم خود به تعقل وامی دارد فیلم او گوشه ای پنهان از معضلات جوامع بشری، آسیب ها و داستان زندگی افراد
آسیب پذیر را نشان می دهد که معمولاً بخشی برجسته از فیلم های آنهاست که صنعت فیلم سازی تجاری هالیوودی، آن را نادیده می گیرد و دنیای کاسبکار سخت به آن بی توجه است وبه نوعی این آسیب ها خود انعکاس و بازخورد سیاست گذاری های خرد و کلان اجتماعی، اقتصادی وسیاسی دولت ها است . به هر حال من به شخصه برای تمامی فیلمسازان نوظهوری که با یک دنیا امید و آرزو قدم در راه فیلمسازی گذشته اند آرزوی پیشرفت و موفقیت دارم. خواه آنها را در دنیای فیلم هنری ثابت قدم ببینم یا درخشان بر عرصه پرده های عریض و طویل دنیای هالیوود.

“I have found the sea,
A limitless ocean.

I have opened a treasury unending,
Its jewels blaze with the luster of a thousand thousand suns,
And they blaze here, in my soul.
All of a sudden,
Without any effort of my own,
I have heard the eternal Secret,
I have learned to know God.
Here in my life hath blossomed
The flower of perfect union”.
