A wheel that turns, an idea that shines, Love and head, heart and conscience issue, Life’s scene. Cinema is a high art and a long path, then it is the era of embracing the issues of people and society. It’s not a festival where special acts and models compete in their costumes, but people who flaunt their suits and dresses in front of the glare of cinema and photography lenses. The road to cinema is long and difficult to walk, like torches that need constant fuel to keep burning. They need a loving heart to believe that the distance between the starting point and the road that never ends is far. You need to write never-ending creative texts, and then tools to transform these texts into a creative cinematic work. To continue to give and shine, cinema needs strong financial support. It can come from the rotation of the cinema wheel and its production, and from the income from films and fine arts shown and presented. This support is the real guarantee for the demand of sponsors, employers, cinema enthusiasts or parties who invest in advertising and cinema, be it the sector or company, government or private. This rope of patronage is short, ends after achieving the goal or getting enough publicity, or the patron and supporter of cinema slackens and his interest shifts to other areas. This is what we observed in the sometimes fading excitement of cinema and its festivals.
Cinema is an artistic and creative issue, for some it is an opportunity for financial gain and it is okay if beautiful and sophisticated houses, buildings, theaters and programs are built to attract cinema-loving audiences and raise awareness of its importance. Fine and beautiful art, and the most important modern works and films of the moment through these cinema programs. The more theaters there are, the more audiences they have and the more opportunity there is to watch and produce. Since the beginning of cinema, people have grown up in the hands of lovers, artists, people with social problems, expressed their opinions and acting through experiences and gained the admiration of people. That is when the idea of cinema and documentaries were born. And short films grew over time until they culminated in cinema’s greatest films.
Cinema can create its existence and future through lovers, lovers, creative cinema thinkers. Cinema is not just festivals governed by money power, its existence is like burning on top of a pyramid or a mountain. Creators are dedicated to their beloved cinema, even if they start as small ventures in the third world, with a handful of lovers, it builds and creates its future when those who work in its field are not stopped. Small films or documentaries and the experiences of lovers are very important and these new filmmakers should be encouraged, especially in our Gulf and Arab region, they are shining candles and stars on the path of cinema in our region today.
