This new video documentary by New Jersey-based film scholar, director, and curator Jamsheed Akrami blends film clips and interviews with a disparate group of Iranian film figures on topics including censorship, the role of women, and the international success of post-Revolutionary filmmaking. The diverse and sometimes diametrically opposed opinions expressed are fascinating to hear and the information imparted about the history of filmmaking in Iran is invaluable.
