The New Iranian Cinema is considered by many to be the most
fascinating cultural phenomenon produced within the Islamic
Republic of Iran. Containing twelve first-hand interviews with the
most renowned film-makers living and working in contemporary Iran,
this book provides insights into film-making within a society often
at odds with its rulers. Reflecting upon the 1979 revolution and
its influence on their work, as well as the effect of their films
on Iranian audiences, film-makers such as Abbas Kiarostami and
Jafar Panahi highlight the key issues surrounding the reception of
Iranian cinema in the West and also its role in the development of
Iran's global image. Through these conversations Shiva Rahbaran
reveals that the seeds of the New Iranian Cinema were sown long
before the revolution, and that Iranian film-makers gave rise to a
cinema which became a global phenomenon despite censorship,
sanctions and political isolation.
