He mentioned, 'We have received many good movies in the festival. I have to congratulate the committee that selects the movies, because they have selected good movies.'  

At the end, he congratulated the Iranian cinema saying, 'The Iranian cinema has taken huge steps in the region. It used to be a regional cinema, but it has turned into an international cinema. We are proud of this cinema, as much as the Iranians feel proud. The Iranian cinema has made progress and has made news all over the world. It has shone in many international festivals that many filmmakers dream about. I congratulate the Iranian cinema.'
