          پنجمين مراسم سالانه انجمن نويسندگان و منتقدان خانه تئاتر روز دوشنبه ۳۰ مردادماه در تالار انديشه حوزه هنری برگزارشد. دراين مراسم حميد سمندريان، ايرج راد، بهزاد فراهانی، کاظم هژيرآزاد حضور داشتند.
          اين مراسم از سال ۱۳۸۱ به مناسبت روز خبرنگار هر ساله برگزار می شود و به برگزيدگان در رشته های مختلف روزنامه نگاری در خصوص تئاتر هدايايی تعلق می گيرد. علاوه بر آن معرفی بهترين گروه نمايشی و انتخاب دو نمايش برگزيده از دو گروه کارگردانان زير ۴۰ سال و بالای ۴۰سال از ديگر برنامه های اين مراسم سالانه است.

          برگزيدگان سال ۸۴ در بخش های مختلف توسط هيئت داوران مرکب از مجيد رضائيان، محسن ابراهيمی و مهرداد رايانی مخصوص به شرح زير انتخاب شدند:

          بخش عکس : ميلاد پيامی(عکاس روزنامه شرق) ـ يادداشت: مهدی نصيری ( نشريه صحنه) ـ مقاله: منوچهر اکبرلو( برگ فرهنگ دانشگاه تهران) ـ گزارش : فروغ سجادی ( خبرگزاری مهر) ـ گفت وگو علی جمشيدی ( با پری صابری در نشريه صحنه) ـ نقد: امين عظيمی

          در مراسم امسال در بخش ترجمه به علت وجود اثر قابل قبول برگزيده ای نداشت، و از علی اکبر عبدالعلی زاده به خاطر ايجاد يک صفحه تئاتری در هفته نامه سينما تقدير به عمل آمد.

          گروه تئاتری " دن کيشوت" به عنوان بهترين گروه نمايشی برگزيده شد که اصغر دشتی کارگردان گروه به نمايندگی از گروه هدايای خود را از ايرج راد مدير عامل خانه تئاتر دريافت کرد.


          بهرام بيضايی به عنوان کارگردان بالای ۴۰ سال به خاطر اجرای نمايش "مجلس شبيه در ذکر مصائب استاد نويد ماکان و همسرش مهندس رخشيد فرزين" برگزيده شد

          شيوه اجرايی اين گروه برمبنای ساختار نمايشی شرقی به ويژه ايرانی است. اين گروه در اجرا بيشتر به بازی و حرکات بدنی بازيگران استوار است و کمتر نيازمند دکور و لباس و گريم برای اجرا وابسته است.

          اجرای نمايش "دن کيشوت" در بهار ۸۴ توسط اين گروه با استقبال روبرو شد و اين نمايش توسط اين گروه در اسپانيا نيز اجرا شد. داستان آشنای " شازده کوچولو" از ديگر کارهای اين گروه است که در سال ۸۳ به شکل شبيه خوانی اجرا کردند.

          بهرام بيضايی به عنوان کارگردان بالای ۴۰ سال به خاطر اجرای نمايش "مجلس شبيه در ذکر مصائب استاد نويد ماکان و همسرش مهندس رخشيد فرزين" برگزيده شد. داستان اين نمايش به ماجرای قتل های زنجيره ای برمی گشت. اين جايزه را محمد رضايی راد دستيار بهرام بيضايی از محمد رحمانيان دريافت کرد.

          محمد رضايی راد پيام تلفنی بهرام بيضايی را به مضمونی که درپی می آيد قرائت کرد. "هر ستايش و تقديری از نمايش مجلس شبيه خوانی را تقديم می کنم به صاحبان اصلی اين نمايش که يادشان هميشه زنده است. اين ارزش شناسی کسانی است که اکنون بين ما نيستند"

          کورش نريمانی به خاطر نمايش "دن کامليو" اثر "جووانی گوارسکی" نويسنده ايتاليايی به عنوان کارگردان زير۴۰ سال برگزيده شد که جايزه خود را از کيومرث مرادی کارگردان برگزيده سال پيش دريافت کرد. ماجرای اين نمايش درباره رقابت کشيش يک دهکده و دوچرخه ساز عضو حزب سرخ آن دهکده می گذرد.

          بخش ويژه اين مراسم مانند دوره های پيشين تقدير از پيش کسوتان عرصه اجرا و روزنامه نگاری و نقد بود، که ازپرويز تاييدی بازيگر، کارگردان و مترجم عرصه تئاتر و در بخش نقد ازحسين قندی روزنامه نگار قديمی در اين عرصه و استاد دانشگاه تجليل به عمل آمد.

          از تئاتر به سينما


          حميد سمندريان: برای حضور در اين کار [تئاتر] بايد عشق داشت تا بتوان تمام مشکلات را تحمل کرد

          بخش پايانی مراسم به تجليل از پرويزپرستويی، رضاکيانيان و رويا تيموريان تحت عنوان "سه چهره صاحب نام تئاتر که در سينما درخشيدند" اختصاص داشت. اين بخش با حضور حميد سمندريان استاد بازيگری اين سه بازيگر برگزار شد.

          حميد سمندريان پيش از حضور اين سه بازيگر سخنانی را در ارتباط با هنر تئاتر، بازيگری و شرايط سخت کار تئاترگفت. او گفت که برای حضور در اين کار بايد عشق داشت تا بتوان تمام مشکلات را تحمل کرد و همه ما با آگاهی از اين مشکلات به اين عرصه قدم گذاشتيم.

          در بخشی ديگر از سخنانش از نياز بازتاب اين هنر در اجتماع گفت. از فرازهای سخنان او نيز اشاره به استعداد ايرانی ها و همين طور تنبلی ايرانی ها بود. او با ذکر خاطراتی از دوران تحصيلش در آکادمی " ادوارد مارکس " در آلمان گفت که در اين مدرسه از سراسر دنيا هنرجويانی برای آموزش تئاتر حضور داشتند و استاد مربوطه همين نکته را به او گوشزد کرده بود.

          آقای سمندريان با اشاره به اينکه تئاتر ايران تئاتر ممتازی نيست ولی تئاتر خوبی است، ضمن تقدير از علی منتظری مدير ساليان پيش مرکز هنرهای نمايشی، از وضعيت مديريتی در تئاتر انتقاد کرد. از اينکه چرا در طی اين ساليان تنها بايد از يک مدير تعريف کرد.


          پرويز پرستويی: " اگر حداقل هزينه زندگی من تامين شود، تنها کار تئاتر می کنم."

          در بخشی از سخنان حميد سمندريان به توليد تئاتر در شرايط بسيار فقيرانه اشاره کرد و گفت ما هنرمندان تئاتر در يک مجموعه قرار گرفته ايم اما مانع می شوند که با هم کار کنيم.

          پس از سخنان حميد سمندريان، رويا تيموريان، رضا کيانيان و پرويز پرستويی بعد از پخش فيلم مصاحبه های ايشان بر روی پرده به روی صحنه آمدند و نشان ويژه انجمن منتقدان و نويسندگان خانه تئاتر را که منقوش به چهره عبدالحسين نوشين بود به همراه جوايز ديگر از حميد سمندريان دريافت کردند.

          رضا کيانيان در فيلم مصاحبه خود گفت که هميشه آماده حضور در صحنه هستم ولی شرايط منطقی آن را مديران بايد فراهم کنند. او اشاره کرد که در همه جای دنيا "تئاتر مستر" وجود دارد که از بودجه دولتی استفاده می کند بخاطر اينکه تئاتر هر کشوری پرچم فرهنگی آن کشور است. عدم تعريف سالن های نمايشی به ويژه مجموعه تئاتر شهر از نقطه نظر حرفه ای يکی ديگر از مشکلاتی بود که کيانيان به آن اشاره کرد.

          رويا تيموريان گفت: "از دوران دانشجويی آرزوی حضور در دونمايش گدايره گچی قفقازی " اثر برتولت برشت و " مده آ" اثر اورپيد را داشتم که هنوز امکان آن را پيدا نکرده ام."

          پرويز پرستويی گفت: " اگر حداقل هزينه زندگی من تامين شود، تنها کار تئاتر می کنم."

                  Going to the movies seems like such a simple thing to do nowadays. All I have to do is to call up a couple of friends, decide on a movie and off we go. But back when I was a 12-year-old kid in Iran, going to the movies was a rare luxury for me.

                  You see my dad was 62 years old and my mom was 39 when I was born. So by the time I was approaching my teenage years, they were both too old and tired to even want to leave the house, let alone go to a movie. In fact, I wasn't aware of my dad ever having gone to a movie. He seemed very happy and content with staying home drinking tea and reading his books, and my mom loved to visit the neighbors and cook for the family. And no matter how much I begged or whined at my parents to take me to a movie, they never gave in. Fortunately for them, they must have lost most of their hearing by that time; otherwise they would have been tortured with my constant whining.

                  The only times that I was allowed to go to a movie was during summers. That's when my brother Kiomars, would come to visit us on his leave from the naval academy and I was on my summer school break. I idolized Kiomars as the coolest person that existed on the planet. He always looked so handsome in his naval uniform and wearing the Rayban sunglasses. Kiomars also had great taste in choosing the best movies for us to watch.

                  I remember him taking me to watch "You Only Live Twice". That was my first exposure to James Bond and the beginning of my lifelong love affair with James Bond stories. Another summer, he took me to see Bruce Lee's "Enter The Dragon". That was also the beginning of my many misadventures with broken fingers and a dislocated shoulder, which were a direct result of trying to be like Bruce. But summers were too short and my brother's leave time was never long enough.

                  Once the school year started, any opportunity to go to a movie also came to a halt. My classmates and friends though, kept up with the latest movie releases. I remember feeling inadequate when my friends talked about the latest Steve McQueen and Clint Eastwood movies and then playing a game by acting out their favorite scenes. I tried to join in but I was always told that I didn't played the part of the heroes right since I hadn't seen the movie. So they would have me play the part of the bad guy each time, either being shot over and ove, or getting punched out in slow motion. I wanted so much to be able to see one of these movies so I could then play the role of a good guy, but that opportunity never came during the school year.

                  One day, when I was feeling gloomy and my mom was having guests, someone asked me why I was not my jubilant self. To which I replied that I never got to go to a movie because my parents were old and that they were just happy staying home and drinking tea. My parents seemingly having been embarrassed by my comment then started explaining that when they were kids, they never went to the movies; instead they studied hard and helped out with the chores. It was then when one of the guests stated that the times had changed and that since I was such a good kid, I deserved to go see a movie every now and then.

                  Suddenly, I saw a ray of hope. Someone other than my brother had decided to be my champion. So I started my begging barrage and making all kinds of promises to get all A's in school and eventually becoming a doctor. And much to my surprise, my parents relented and agreed to take me to a movie the following weekend.

                  I was ecstatic all week! I even asked the coolest kid in my class to join me for this new and exciting adventure. This was my ticket to the big time. I knew I'll be admitted into the cool kids club, and I may even get to play the part of a hero during our games. All week I wondered with enthusiasm what kind of a movie my father was going to take us to see. Was it going to be an action adventure with John Wayne playing a tough cop, or a Bruce Lee movie where he kicks and punches all the bad guys while sounding like a chicken? Personally, I was hoping to see the latest all-star Hollywood blockbuster movie called "A Bridge Too Far". It had everything! Good guys versus bad guys, tons of explosions, and even tanks.

                  The weekend finally arrived after what seemed like an eternity. I called my friend and urged him to come over early so we could leave as quickly as possible. But then I noticed that we started having visitors. My mom's sister, my aunt from my father's side, one of my father's old friends and four of our neighbors just showed up. This was not good! I was ready to go see a movie but we were having unannounced guests visiting us. I wondered why they all chose this particular time to show up and if we were going to be delayed. What if the movie plans were now going to be cancelled? I thought to myself. That would have totally ruined whatever respect or image I had left with my friend from school.

                  Completely annoyed by this latest development, I walked to the kitchen to talk with my mom. She was busy packing food into a basket as I was busy whining about not being able to go to the movies now that we had company. She then looked at me, smiled and said, "Don't worry, you are going to get to watch your movie and we are all going to go with you". "What? Oh my god, you must be kidding mom?" "Why do we have to invite the whole neighborhood to go with us?" This was going to suck, I thought to myself. Originally, I though having my old dad take me to a movie was bad enough, but having a whole procession accompanying me was ridiculous.

                  Just when I thought that it wasn't going to get any worse, I looked at the basket my mom was busy packing. She had put in it a flask of tea, several mugs, sugar cubes, apples, oranges, cucumbers, cookies (naane berenji), pistachios, pumpkin and watermelon seeds and kotlets wrapped in bread (naane sangaki). My heart just stopped! I asked if she was going on a picnic. But she said "Well, what if we get hungry?"

                  Not only this was my most embarrassing moment, I actually had managed to have a witness from school to observe it all. I was totally in shock and could not speak a word as the procession started walking down the street. My only hope was that the awesomeness of this movie might distract my friend's observation of how un-cool my family was, and save me some ridicule at school.

                  I knew that "A Bridge Too Far" was being played at Paramount Cinema, but the movie procession was walking in a different direction from where Paramount was. Up till that point, I had mistakenly assumed that I was in charge of choosing the movie for this evening, but I was beginning to have doubts and even worries.

                  My worst fears came true as we all stopped in front of Asia Cinema. A movie theatre specializing in showing cheap black and white B-rated Iranian musicals. These movies were deemed to be the un-coolest movies by my generation. The plots were always the same. Good guy and the girl sing and dance all the way through the movie, good guy saves the honor of the girl by beating up the bad rich guy and his gang, good guy gets the girl!

                  Sinking into my sit and feeling like I wanted to disappear off the face of the earth, I watched my mom passing out kotlet sandwiches to her companions. Halfway through the movie, during one of a dozen musical scenes, someone from a back row asked my mom if he could have a cup of tea. Soon she was sharing all kinds of nuts and fruit with total strangers. Suddenly there was a picnic/party in the middle of the theatre with my parents as the hosts. Couple of people actually got up from their seats and started dancing along with the characters in the movie. As my mom kept passing out sandwiches and fruit, I sank even lower in my seat. How was I going to live through the ridicule that was to ensue the next day at school?

                  Once the movie was over, the well-fed and jubilant procession headed back toward the house. But I was too embarrassed and afraid of looking at my friend. Yet, I could hear him talk with my mom. I think I heard him say, "That was the best kotlet that I have ever tasted". I looked up and saw a big huge smile on his face. Then he said, "That was so much fun! Can I go to the movies with your family again?"

                  My father has since passed away, and my mom now lives 1,500 miles away in Northern California. Next week, I'll be taking some much anticipated vacation time to go see my mom. You see, I have been anxiously looking forward to eating her kotlet and watching an old Iranian B-rated movie, with her seating next to me.

                          عليرضا خمسه از جمله نقش آفرينان عرصه کمدي کشور ما در اين دهه مي باشد و به لحاظ وجه اشتراکي که بين سينماي کمدي و دنياي کودکان و نوجوانان وجود دارد آثار بسياري از وي در زمينه تلفيق کمدي با مسائل کودکان و نوجوانان ديده شده است. خمسه در طي 25 سال گذشته در 19 فيلم سينمايي ، 12 سريال تلويزيوني و 10 تئاتر ايفاي نقش نموده و همچنين بيش از 30 تئاتر ، سريال و فيلم را نوشته و کارگرداني کرده است. وي در 8 جشنواره داخلي ، خارجي و بين المللي نيز عضو هيأت داوران بوده و همچنين از او تجليل به عمل آمده است. از جمله کارهاي موفق اين کمدين مي توان به فيلم هاي ، آپارتمان شماره 13، دو نفر و نصفي و چشم شيطان اشاره نمود.
                          گفتني است ...




                          خمسه در برنامه هاي مختلف تلويزيوني نيز به عنوان مجري حاضر شده است.
                          آقاي خمسه با توجه به اينکه شما در زمينه سينماي کمدي فعاليت هاي زيادي داشته ايد ، چند سالي است که تهيه کنندگان در ژانر کمدي سرمايه گذاري نمي کنند و اين نوع از سينما به فراموشي سپرده شده ، علت آن را چه مي دانيد؟
                          علي رغم نيازي که در حال حاضر جامعه ما به سينماي کمدي دارد ، متأسفانه رشد و سير صعودي را طي نکرده و در برخي از موارد نه تنها رشدي از خود نشان داده ، حتي مقطعي بوده و توسط دست اندرکاران رها شده است ، همين مسئله در زمينه سينماي کودکان و نوجوانان و حتي برنامه سازي کودک در تلويزيون هم اتفاق افتاده است ، که در يک مقطع کارهاي بسياري براي کودکان انجام شده ، و لي خيلي زود به دست فراموشي سپرده شده است. ما از لحاظ کمّي ، آثار زيادي داشته ايم اما به لحاظ کيفي ، کارها حائز شرايط مناسبي نبوده اند. در ريشه يابي علل اين مسئله ، مي توان به جنبه هاي مختلفي اشاره نمود. ما به اندازه کافي تکنسين پرورش نداده ايم و طي سال هاي گذشته ، حتي از ابزارهاي جديد استفاده نکرده ايم ، متأسفانه ما در طول اين سال ها همواره با فقر امکانات ساخت آثار کُميک رو برو بوده ايم. ما جامعه اي هستيم که تجربه شادماني زيادي نداريم ، رفتارهاي شادمانه را فراموش کرده و نمي دانيم که چگونه بايد خوشحال باشيم. جامعه اي که با سوگ آميخته و به تعزيت بهاي بيشتري مي دهد ، معمولاً نگاه خيلي عميقي به کمدي و آثار آن ندارد و اين يکي از نقصان ماست.
                          چه راهکارهايي را براي بهبود وضعيت فعلي سينماي کمدي پيشنهاد مي کنيد؟
                          ما براي گسترش آثار کُمدي و تعميق نگاه طنز در جامعه ، محتاج سعه صدر و نيازمند اين هستيم که جامعه خود را آن قدر رشد دهيم که بتواند به نقطه ضعف هاي خويش با چشم باز نگاه کند ، دهان منتقدين را نبندند و اين مسائل اتفاق نمي افتد مگر اينکه همه ما مثل هم نگاه کنيم. اگر در بخش هاي مختلف جامعه يک نگاه واحد به سمت کمدي داشته باشيم به موفقيت خواهيم رسيد ، بايد به افراد مختلف و دست اندرکاران اين قضيه بها دهيم و آنها را براي ادامه کار تشويق کنيم. نکته مهم اين است که همه جرقه هايي که براي بهبود اين وضعيت زده مي شود به صورت يک جريان مستمر در آمده و به نتيجه برسد ، نکته ديگر اينکه سينماي کمدي بايد توسط مسئولان حمايت و پشتيباني گردد.
                          پس از چند سالي که از فيلم هاي کمدي خبري نبود ، اخيراً شاهد ساخت يک فيلم کمدي تحت عنوان نان ، عشق و موتور 1000 بوده ايم که کارگردان خوب و مطرحي داشت ، از طرفي اين فيلم سرمايه گذار شخصي نداشت و يک موسسه اقتصادي آنرا پشتيباني مي کرد ، نظر شما در اين رابطه چيست؟
                          متأسفانه سينما در حال حاضر صنعت سود دهي نيست و به دلايل بسياري مانند عدم وجود سالن هاي مناسب ، نبود امکانات ، سناريوي ضعيف فيلم ها، تماشاي فيلم ها در منازل و کلوپ هاي گوناگون و ايجاد شرايط ساده تر براي تماشاي فيلم ، مردم کمتر به سينما مي روند، از اين رو اغلب فيلم ها فروش چشمگيري نداشته و بسياري از سرمايه گذاران به سراغ کارهاي ديگر رفته اند و اگر سرمايه داري به صورت يک قهرمان اساطيري پيدا شود و روي فيلمي سرمايه گذاري کند ، به همين دلايل ذکر شده ديگر حاضر به سرمايه گذاري نمي شود.
                          نظرتان در رابطه با ساخت برنامه هاي کمدي روتين در تلويزيون چيست؟
                          ساخت برنامه هاي طنز، در تلويزيون نياز به انسانهائي دارد که در طنز پرورش يافته اند و ما متأسفانه هيچ مدرسه، آموزشگاه و يا دانشکده اي نداريم که اين گونه انسانها را پرورش دهد. در سال هاي اخير شاهد ساخت برنامه هاي کمدي روتين در تلويزيون بوده ايم که علي رغم شرايط خوبي که از جهات مختلف داشته اند ، متأسفانه داراي رشد کيفي نبوده و با توجه به شبکه هاي متعددي که در تلويزيون داريم ، تاکنون فعاليت مناسبي در زمينه طنز تلويزيوني ارائه نشده است. پس بهتر است که درِ انتقاد را به روي کارهاي خويش باز کرده و رهنمودهاي صاحبنظران را با روي خوش بپذيريم که قطعاً در کارهاي ما بي تأثير نخواهد بود.
                          بهترين دوران سينماي ايران در زمينه ساخت فيلم هاي کمدي، چه زماني بوده است؟
                          دهه 60 تا 70 موفق ترين دوران ساخت برنامه هاي کمدي بوده است ، در آن زمان هر کمدين در سال ، ده الي پانزده برنامه بازي مي کرد و کاملاً وقتش پر بود. در آن سال ها استفاده بهينه اي از افراد مستعد در زمينه کمدي شده و آثار خوبي هم برجاي مانده است. اما در دوران اخير شاهد فيلم هاي کمدي جالب توجهي نبوده ايم.
                          آقاي خمسه، به نظر شما نخبه هنري چگونه بايد باشد؟
                          نخبگان هنري بايد داراي شرايط خاصي باشند ، به اعتقاد من نخبه هنري ، فردي است که به خودش فکر نکند و دنبال منافع فردي خويش نباشد. اگر بخواهيم ميزاني را براي نخبه شدن بيان کنيم بايد بگوئيم نخبه بايد سه ويژگي داشته باشد : اول توانايي ، دوم بينش و سوم از منيت به دوربوده و به جمع انساني بپيوندد.
                          نخبگان چه نقشي در جامعه ايفا مي کنند؟
                          در هر زمينه اي جامعه به نخبگان نياز دارد. ما شاهد هستيم که وجود يک فرد نخبه موجب موفقيت يک جمع مي شود ، به عنوان مثال در جمع کوچکي مانند خانواده مشاهده مي کنيم که يک فرد نخبه ، آن خانواده را به سرمنزل مقصود مي رساند. پس افراد نخبه نقش تعيين کننده اي در موفقيت جوامع ايفا مي کنند ، نخبگان هنري نيز با استفاده از ابزار گوناگون و به کارگيري شيوه هاي مختلف هنري که مبتني بر استعدادهاي آنان مي باشد ، مي توانند در جامعه تأثير گذار باشند و حتي شايد مقدار تأثير گذاري هنر بيشتر از رشته هاي ديگر باشد. زيرا هنر ، شيرين است و مردم به ويژه جوانان ، گرايش و علاقه بيشتري نسبت به هنر و مسائل هنري به ويژه سينما و تئاتر دارند.
