Imam convinced the society, relevant authorities and public masses to standby the artists in order to promote the positive perspectives of music, art and cinema, the former minister emphasized
Jamee'i noted that a large number of religious people had not a positive look at cinema industry in the beginning unless Imam expressed his support and emphasized on highlighting positive perspectives of these branches of art.
