THE SAHAR INTERNATIONAL SHORT FILM
FESTIVAL 2024 EDITION 11
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, that's the reason we postponed it to the day of screening on October 26. 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.

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 prepared and produced 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 films 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 costs, 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 one word: 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.
I personally wish great success for each one of the filmmakers who has an ambition to reach their goal for the art world or Hollywood blockbuster cinema.

به طور مختصر مایل هستم که توضیحی در زمینه حیطه کاری خود ارایه دهم. به راستی فرق بین فیلم هنری با فیلم های بلاکباستر و هالیوودی در چیست؟ فیلم های بلاکباستر و 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 تولید می 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 و هنرمندانه 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 با هزینه های هنگفت تولید ندارند و همیشه فیلمسازان مستقل و نوظهور کار خود را در خانه هنر و سینمای هنری به معرض دید همگان قرار می 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
خلاصه کلام: 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.
