A
veteran
Iranian
documantarist
was
praised
by the
Academy
of Arts
for his
permanent
contribution
to
Iranian
documentary
filmmaking.
Reported
by the
Public
Relations
of
Aseman
Cultural-Artistic
Complex,
during a
ceremony
held on
December
20 at
Aseman
complex
to pay
tribute
to
achievements
of Mr.
Tayāb,
the
secretary
of the
Academy
of Arts,
Bahman
Namvar
Motlaq
celebrated
the
documentarist:
"Due
to his
presence
and
other
Iranian
prominent
filmmakers
including
Mr.
Mehrjou'ei
and Mr.
Majidi,
I hope
that the
Cinema
Department
of the
Academy
of Arts
initiates
more
activities
in the
related
field,"
he said.
Also Dr.
Namvar
congratulated
the
membership
of Tayāb
in the
Academy
of Arts
and then
together
with the
deputy
of
Artistic
Affairs
and
International
Relations
of the
academy,
Muhammad-Mahdi
Haidarian
granted
a plaque
of honor
and
other
presents
to the
documentarist.
Reciprocally,
Tayāb
expressed
his
appreciation
from the
academy
and
presented
the
ceremony
to all
artists
and
cultural
figures
of his
generation
who
contributed
to
promote
the
Iranian
Culture,
"Essentially
whatever
I
received
today
belongs
to all
individuals
of my
generation
who
burdened
Iranian
cultural
advancement,"
he
noted.
Emphasizing
on the
enormous
cultural
capacity
of our
country
for
making
documentary
films,
Tayāb
declared,
"We
can
develop
into the
center
of the
world's
documentary
filmmaking,
only if
we
become
more
conscious."
He
wished
that the
facilities
provided
by the
Academy
of Arts
help to
the
development
of this
art and
transfer
the
experiences
of
veterans
to young
generation.
Another
Iranian
veteran
documentarist,
Muhamad-Reza
Aslani,
regarded
the
works of
Tayāb
as
instances
of
creative
documentary
cinema:
"In
1960s
and 70s
a
category
of
inventive
documentary
cinema
was set
up in
Iran,
Mr. Tayāb
is an
influential
figure
of those
times
and in
his
films we
can see
the
embodiment
of
creative
documentary
cinema,"
he said.
Aslani
regarded
Tayāb
as a
role
model
for
Iranian
young
generation
of
documentarists.
In the
other
part of
the
ceremony,
an
Iranian
master
of
architecture,
Muhammad-Mansour
Falamaki
accounted
for the
features
of
Safavid
architecture:
"In
Safavid
era, the
architects
opted
for
using
colors
instead
of words
since
they
couldn't
utilize
colors
scattered
on the
surfaces.
At that
period
color
developed
into a
design
with its
own
implications
and
gradually
detached
from
architecture,"
he
stated.
