🌹Dear Dr. MirKiani, most of your works, both in writing and in visual form, are for children and young people. What is the reason for your interest in working in the field of children and young people?
An artist, in whatever field they enter, the first component they must have is the ability to connect with the audience.
Therefore, people who want to enter the field of children and young people must first be able to connect with these individuals (their thoughts, moods, feelings, etc.).
I have a better relationship with children and young people. I have tried to maintain this connection and have been able to understand them better. I also care about the future of the children and young people of my country, so I decided to enter this field.
🌹In your opinion, what concepts are better to address for the child and young audience?
The best and most important event is understanding and recognizing the concept of life.
If children correctly understand the concept of life, their problems in the future will be solved, and even many of their educational and behavioral problems will be resolved.
Therefore, in my view, the most important concept is understanding the concept of life, the lives of other children, fellow citizens, and even children around the world.
🌹In your opinion, who can write well for children or produce good programs?
Those who understand the mental space of children and young people, recognize their concerns, and can produce good and engaging works for them.
🌹Which children’s media works in Iran and the world do you like?
We have good works, both in written and visual formats. But I will not name them.
However, my criteria for good works is being effective in the culture, ethics, and upbringing of children.
In the field of program-making, tastes vary. Currently,
most people work based on their own discretion.
🌹In your opinion, what are the harms facing children’s programs? What is your proposed solution?
The most important harm is the lack of innovation and the repetition of past structures.
While ethics, upbringing, and content are recognized components, in my view, these three do not belong to the program-makers; rather, the structure belongs to them. The more our program-makers move toward new horizons, the more they have proven their capability.
Emphasizing the three components of ethics, upbringing, and content without having a suitable and attractive structure is ineffective.
🌹What is your suggestion for people who want to enter the field of children? (Whether in the field of writing or program-making)
Both those who want to write and those who want to enter the field of program-making must strengthen their connection with children’s literature and even the influential literature of the world, because literature is related to the people’s culture. If we cannot establish a strong connection with literature, we may not have strong works.
Our program-makers should also expand their connection with literature and receive the necessary training in the field of program-making.
🌹What should a good children and young people’s screenplay and its heroes be like?
In a screenplay that is to be written or produced, the author or producer of that program must first have clear objectives. They must know for what audience they want to make a program. In any case, good works belong to those who can create an engaging and impactful space for children and young people.
In a successful screenplay, its heroes can pass through difficult paths and react correctly to bitterness. Their concerns should be the concerns of the audience, and so on…
