In the early 1970s, a number of films by Iranian directors attracted considerable international attention, as Roy Armes notes in his seminal work Third World Film Making and the West: 1970 [saw] the appearance of a New Iranian Cinema...created by a fairly heterogeneous group of young intellectuals, many of them foreign-educated, and receiving some support from the Ministry of Culture and the state television service. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Cinema, mirror of society!, January 11, 2007
This book is an outstanding work since it covers a wide range of works by different renowned directors who have had the courage to break silence. Works like this reflect the through picture of Iranian society and nation and help Iranians gain their tarnished reputation and identity in the world.
