The contract for films-theater must be changed

Iran Theater-Hossein Mosafer Astaneh, the director of Iranshahr Complex, who previously was director of Visual Media Institute, emphasized that the type of contracts should be changed in the case of Film-Theater.

"In this case, the rights of the artists must be taken into account," he said.

About two weeks ago, when the first protests by some theater directors about the online release and sale of their  film-theaters were arisen, artists are still complaining about this incident and are looking for a way to get their rights.

In this regard, Hossein Mosafer Astaneh, director of Iranshahr Theater Complex, explained about the contracts of these  film-theaters: In the past, there was a contract for recording and broadcasting film theaters in Iranshahr Theater Complex, which ended in 2016. Later, a contract was signed with Beethoven Music Center stating that any use of DVDs is subject to the permission of the owners, and all of these are available at the Iranshahr Theater. In fact, after 2016, it was decided that each group would record its work in the halls of Iranshahr with any team they wanted, and the hall would receive a fee for  extra  times, but there was no obligation to release it.”
