Sayyed Morteza Avini (also spelled Aviny; 1947 – 9 April 1993) was an Iranian photographer and documentary film-maker of the Iran-Iraq war. He was also a prolific writer on Islamic revolutionary themes.
Avini was born in 1947 in Rey, south of Tehran. He earned a master's degree in architecture from Tehran University prior to the Islamic Revolution of Iran in 1979. During the revolution, Avini went through an intellectual and spiritual transformation.
After the victory of Iranian Revolution, he abandoned architecture and engaged in various fields to promote the ideology of Islamic Revolution, from photography and film-making to writing and critique.
His productions and writings reflect a deep devotion for the founder of Islamic Revolution, Imam Ayatollah Khomeini, and a steadfast commitment to illuminate the unique features of the Islamic Revolution as led by the Imam. Consequently, he also rose as a revolutionary critique of "Westoxication" in Iranian Cinema, literature and intellectual thought after the decease of Ayatollah Khomeini.
He gained national recognition and reputation for his documentary works during the Iran–Iraq war. Some of his team members were martyred while filming in the war zones. He is especially remembered for the series The Chronicles of Victory (Template:Lang-fa), which was regularly aired IRIB.
In 1989, Iran's supreme leader established a foundation to help continue documenting and commemorating the war. The result was the 10-part series A City in the Skies (Template:Lang-fa).
Avini was killed on April 9, 1993 by an Iraqi-deployed landmine remained from Iraq–Iran war while making a documentary about the missing soldiers in the former war fronts of southwestern Iran. He left numerous publications.

His book called " The Magic Mirror" proved that he has some things to say in the field of cinema and also his points of view were the valuable ones in the related situation.
His points of view
Morteza Avini considered the Western countries as a historic manifestation of Satan. He specifically (about the post-Renaissance) believed that the man's ignorance and rebellion had approached its climax through Omanism and being self-centered, the fact which would pave the ground for repentance.
Avini called the current age as "the Age of Human Kind's Repentance". He considered the manifestation of a religious revolution as the manifestation of this historic and spiritual repentance.
Avini considered the humankind's historical destiny, consisting the elements as follows:
1-Dejection ( from collective and historical point of view)
2-Rebellion and being self-centered
3-Repentance( from the collective and historical point of view)
3-The beginning of spiritual age and saving from being self- centered.
Avini considered the Islamic jurisdiction as the only legal government. Here come his words:
"The Islamic Jurisdiction is the only system which can lead to the Islamic superiority. The jurist is a person that the religious philosophy has improved in his soul. He also possesses the power to analyze the practical religious rules which are originated from the sources of truth which are Quran and tradition".
He did not considered freedom as human's right, but rather as his mission:
"Freedom is not a human right, but it is his mission toward truth and justice. However; this idea implies the negligence, which means that freedom has essentially no resistance and battle with truth, justice and commitment and in the case of manifestation of the true essence of freedom, all the quarrels and negotiations would be settled down. These negotiations are because of negligence about the true essence of freedom which is "Horriyat".
"The real thinking is the present one which is "Reminder" (Zikr) and this latter one can not be achieved automatically. "Presence" is the exact version of "Reminder" and "Proximity" and "Negligence" are the exact "Dimension"."
Avini was one of the serious and studious critics and at the same time the intellectual one. He constantly, criticized the superficiality of the Iranian intellectualism that appeared to be westernized. He considered those as intellectuals who tried to use the rules and the considerations with the theoretical, practical, empirical and sensational essence, taken from the logic framework and apart from the revelation, as the basis of a drastic change in mankind's life.
"An intellectual has contrastive ideas about the religion and associated traditions. He depends upon his own ideology and acquires the practical rules of his life through experiments and associated sciences. The intellectual community has basically tendency toward Western culture and has westernized thought in his mind. Even if he turns out to respect the religious principles, he will be about to be eclectic. He does not believe in the Islamic authority because, he believes in the Western democracy."
He considered the promulgation of this eclecticism as one of the goals behind the cultural invasion:
"The cultural invasion of the enemies of the revolution would be directed at those areas which have provided the independent identity and lead it to a campaign with the West: the Islamic culture of the revolution is the Islamic jurisdiction with no relationship with the USA"
Avini was a true lover of the Islamic authority, a follower of his great teacher "Ruhollah Khomeini" and the Supreme leader" Ali Khamenei".
