Relaying Cinema in Midcentury Iran investigates how the cultural
translation of cinema has been shaped by the physical translation
of its ephemera. Kaveh Askari examines film circulation and its
effect on Iranian film culture in the period before foreign studios
established official distribution channels and Iran became a
notable site of world cinema. This transcultural history draws on
cross-archival comparison of films, distributor memos, licensing
contracts, advertising schemes, and audio recordings. Askari
meticulously tracks the fragile and sometimes forgotten material of
film as it circulated through the Middle East into Iran and shows
how this material was rerouted, reengineered, and reimagined in the
process.
