The path of films into these major festivals has been long and winding, from its origins in the social and cultural history. And the historical formation of cinema took place on a transnational public sphere – both in its origins and its destinations – from the East India Company film studios in India where the very first Iranian films were made, to these European film festivals. Actors must regularly attend auditions to compete for roles in theater productions, films, television shows, commercials, and other projects. This involves preparing audition materials, such as monologues or scenes, and showcasing their acting abilities to casting directors, producers, and other decision-makers.
