I wanted to write about the Venice festival that was held a few days ago and to write a few lines about the imprisoned Iranian directors who have been imprisoned for expressing their opinions and criticizing the dirty, ugly, and inhuman behavior of the totalitarian-militaristic regime of the Iranian mullahs
But upon hearing the strange news of the closure of the Institute for the Intellectual Development of Iranian Children and young adults, I decided to write about this cultural disaster
I have written about this cultural institution before. But I have to, as a storyteller who has written stories for children and published books, and I have been familiar with this great cultural institution since forty-three years ago have to write about this loss, destruction, and social-cultural scandal of the thief and corrupt Mullah-Pasdar regime of Iran and condemn it
This organization was founded in 1965 under the leadership of Queen Farah Pahlavi and managed by Mrs. Lili Amir Arjomand. The goals of this organization include the following principles
Establishment of book distribution and cultural and artistic education centers for children and teenagers in different parts of the country
Development and completion of fixed and mobile public libraries
Cooperation with organizations to create special sections for children and teenagers
Production and printing of visual and audio products
Providing educational materials and classes
Production, purchase, distribution, screening, and sale of films and theaters for children and teenagers
Opening a mobile and postal library to provide appropriate books to children and teenagers in villages and deprived areas and cooperation with organizations that provide similar services
Helping to develop and promote literature and art for children and teenagers by encouraging and collaborating with writers and designers, artists, and publishers
Cooperation with all Iranian and non-Iranian institutions whose goals are similar to the goals of the center
Ms. Lili Amir Arjomand declared in a recent television program that the center for intellectual development in difficult and inaccessible mountainous areas used horses and donkeys to deliver books to children living in those areas... in Kurdistan-Iran, Lurestan, Baluchistan, Khuzestan, Mazandaran, and other parts of Iran
I must say that many of Iran's avant-garde artists were colleagues of this institution or have grown up in the educational system of this institution
I'm sorry... the young Iranian generation is not like the previous generations. Because they have captured his mind with religious rituals, superstitions, jasmine, drugs, poverty, and mental illnesses
We never grew culturally this way. Children of my generation in Kurdistan and other parts of Iran read books and were familiar with stories, poems, and movies. In schools, they used to play educational videos for us with projectors. There were many books to read in the library
Where will Ali Khamenei and his reactionary and terrorist regime take this country? What did the Islamic revolution achieve
I feel sorry for the nation that is in the sleep of death. I pray that no nation in the world will suffer from misery and cultural misery like the people of Iran
More dirty and uglier than this act is the silence of these scandalized Persian-language media in Europe and America, which have focused their energy and focus on inducing this content to their audience that the secular mullahs exist also...or these mullahs should be removed and the Islamic regime of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps should still rule Iran. Their concern is to earn dirty money from the current Iranian regime, which swims into the sea of blood, terror, death, corruption, and prostitution
Mrs. Amir Arjomand's argument is logical as he says: the closure of this large cultural Institute and its branches throughout Iran is to usurp the buildings, lands, and properties belonging to this institution
Finally, I wish happiness and success to my dear friend Arnaud
Thanks for accepting my invitation, my friend
Thank you!

?Please introduce yourself: Name, education, marital status, and...
.I am Arnaud de Montlivault, I am French
?What is your artistic specialty
.I am a comedian
? When and how did you become interested in this artistic field
.I have a particular background. I was a television journalist for 8 years and a communications manager in a French administration for 8 years. I always wanted to be an actor. When I was younger, I took acting classes. And at the dawn of my 40 years, I decided to launch myself. I applied for a casting and I got a role in a TV movie. I am happy because I realized my childhood dream, to be an actor. It's a great opportunity
?Who was your motivator
.I like to meet people, to be in different worlds. I also like to get out of my comfort zone and this job is great for that. I can be the Dauphin of France, son of Louis XIV one day. And the next day, a father takes care of his children in a commercial
? What was the reaction of your parents
.My parents were reluctant when I was young but when I started, I was no longer a little boy. They were happy that I was happy
? When did you become a professional actor
.It was by chance and luck. At the time, I was working in administration. Work that I did not like. My wife gave me an ad for extra work and I was lucky enough to get a role. I pay tribute to her today because it is thanks to my wife that I gave up everything to start acting
? Are you grateful and happy thanks to your acting activities
.I am very happy. I have the chance to work. To get various roles, to travel all over Europe, and meet a lot of different people
? Please tell us, what is the logic of the Comédie
.I don't know how to answer. The most difficult thing in this profession is to let go to serve a text, a character. Putting aside your shyness and going for it
?What is the relationship between comedy and culture
.Why should people laugh? Culture is at the heart of our societies. A life without culture, without laughter, is a dull life. After these years of pandemics, people need to laugh, to get out. All forms of culture allow people to escape, whether it be theater, television, cinema, platforms...
`? How do you see the vision of Art, Culture, Theater, Cinema, and Comedy
.For me, this is central to my life. I could not do without it. Art has educated me, raised me, and allowed me to be what I am today
? Can you become part of the cultural movement for the motivation of the young or new generations in your country and so on
.I am French, the cradle of cinema, Molière in particular. Culture is at the heart of our society. The future is the youth and they will be the actors of the culture of tomorrow
? How can you help our world become a better place to live in
.I think that important messages can be conveyed through cinema and television. It is also the role of culture to open up consciousness
? Do you have any other words to say or to suggest to our readers
. Well, stay curious and open to others. Without any preconceived ideas
Here is my comedian's demo tape
Thank you very much for this interview
