Hossein Entezami said that undoubtedly, institutionalizing the social concept of resistance is one of the functions of 16th Resistance International Film Festival, and with the actions taken in this festival, resistance finds a broader meaning.
Entezami underscored that almost all countries in the region face the issue of resistance as a social issue, adding that the countries engaged in the war against arrogance or Takfir terrorists are touching the concept of resistance as a daily priority in their social life.

He said it is necessary to attract foreign filmmakers to attend this international film festival.
Entezami also called the Islamic Republic of Iran as a promoter of the concept of resistance in the region.
