Iranian cinema is today widely recognized not merely as a distinctive national cinema, but as one of the most innovative in the world. This international stature both fascinates Western observers and appears paradoxical with perceptions of Iran as anti-modern. The largely Iranian contributors to this book look in-depth at how Iranian cinema became a true "world cinema." From a range of perspectives, they explore cinema's development in post-Revolutionary Iran and its place in Iranian culture.
