group of professional and interdisciplinary meetings, focusing on the
actor and the status of acting in kids’ cinema; schools and kids’
cinema; adaption of old literal materials; animated movies;
understanding the audience; as well as the modern researching in kids’
cinema and its needs in order to have a functional interaction with the
universities and academicians, exploit their potential and build a
relationship among kids’ cinema, the audience, parents and human
sciences.”

those meetings are divided into professional and interdisciplinary
sections. With the help of filmmakers and artists, as well as human
scientists, those meetings are planned to be hold in
science/cultural/media center,” he said.
Insisting
on the importance of such meetings, he added, "If we adopt interactive,
conversational and researching approach (assuming the other necessities
are provided), we will definitely be able to increase the number of
kids’ movies and absorb more audiences. These meetings would help us to
identify factors which are important in measuring quality and and
undoubtedly would improve the standard of productions.”
