This film movement boasts a number of successful women directors, whose films have impressed audiences and film festivals worldwide. This study examines the works of three Iranian women directors, Rakhshan Bani-Etemad, Tamineh Milani, and Samira Makhmalbaf, for their films’ social, political, and cultural themes and commentary while also investigating the directors’ techniques in managing censorship codes that regulate their production and content. Importantly, these women directors must also navigate the Islamic Republic’s Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance’s censorship laws, which dictate that challenging the government’s law or Islamic law is illegal and punishable.

By Mohsen Makhmalbaf
Migration Studies – Review of Polish Diaspora nr 3 (177)/2020, http://www.ejournals.eu/Studia-Migracyjne/ DOI: 10.4467/25444972SMPP.20.031.12595 Transnational Dimensions of Iranian Cinema: “accented films” by Mohsen Makhmalbaf ELŻBIETA WIĄCEK1 ORCID: 0000-0003-3148-4549 Institute of Intercultural Studies Jagiellonian University Iranian film director Mohsen Makhmalbaf left Iran in 2005 shortly after the election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The artist underwent a multiphase evolution away from the supporter of Islamic re- gime in the early 1980s to cosmopolitan internationally acclaimed auteur. Finally, he became not only a dissident filmmaker but also a political dissident in the aftermath of 2009 presidential elec- tion. As exile wears on, Makhmalbaf became postnational filmmaker, making a variety of “accented films”. Not all the consequences of internationalization are positive – to be successful in transna- tional environment he has to face much larger competition and the capitalist market. Having in mind the categories of displaced Iranian directors distinguished by Hamid Naficy – exilic, diaspor- ic, émigré, ethnic, cosmopolitan – I would like to find out which one of them applies to Mohsen Makhmalbaf’s life and work. I also will focus on the following questions: To what extent the cen- sorship of Makhmalbaf’s artistic activity was a reason for his migration? how are migratory experi- ences expressed in his movies? What features of “the accented cinema” his movies are manifesting? I would argue that the experience of migration and the transnationality was the characteristic fea- ture of Makhmalbaf’s his work long before leaving the home country. It can be said that regardless this stylistic diversity, all of Makhmalbaf’s movies made abroad can be described as the example of “accented cinema” which comprises different types of cinema made by exilic and diasporic film- makers who live and work in countries other than their country of origin.

A.N.T., Agency and Cinematic Authorship by Ali Bassidji
A.N.T., Agency and Cinematic Authorship By Ali Bassidji Submitted to OCAD University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Contemporary Art, Design and New Media Art Histories Toronto, Ontario, Canada, April, 2014 © Ali Bassidji, 2014 I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this MRP. This is a true copy of the MRP, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I authorize OCAD University to lend this MRP to other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. I understand that my MRP may be electronically available to the public. I further authorize OCAD University to reproduce this MRP by photocopying or by other means, in total or in part, at the request of other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. Signature ___________________________ ii Abstract This project was conceived as a study inspired by the careers of Iranian art house filmmaker, Samira Makhmalbaf and Canadian First Nation documentary filmmaker, Alanis Obomsawin, and a single film from the oeuvre of each filmmaker: Makhmalbaf’s The Blackboards (2000), and Obomsawin’s The People of Kattawapiskak River (2012). By analyzing the media contexts of these two films, as well as inspecting key elements that constitute the profiles of each filmmaker, their films-as-cultural product, and their respective societies, the study ultimately expands on the discourse of artistic agency and Authorship within contemporary cultural institutions – and by extension, the contemporary social Networks they are part of – through the lens of Actor-Network Theory (Latour 2005).

Manoo -- a textile specialist who works tirelessly to protect antique rugs from being smuggled out of Iran -- is forced to drop everything when her elderly mother goes missing. Her mother, who is in the early stages of dementia, absconds with one of the rugs Manoo has been trying to protect and journeys to the village from which she was forced to flee as a young woman. Pegah, the youngest of the trio, embarks on her own journey -- a road trip into the desert -- during which time she meets a fellow traveler who is also trying to "find" himself. This beautifully told narrative highlights in a powerful way the human condition in all its strengths and frailties Format Call # webfilm package Catalog Record http://library.ohio-state.edu/record=b7693214~S7 TITLE 7 blind female filmmakers [electronic resource] / directed by Mohammad Shirvani Synopsis In Spring 2004, Mohammad Shirvani decided to answer an old question in his mind - What should I do if I, as a film director, would become blind? I was wondering if I could keep making films. This film has been made by a number of blind women filmmakers to answer that question. I taught them how to narrate their own stories through film language with small digital cameras and they also taught me how to see the world with my third eye on my forehead.

Cinema in Post-Taliban Afghanistan
Cinema in Post-Taliban Afghanistan By Ron Holloway Fall 2009 Issue of KINEMA CINEMA IN POST-TALIBAN AFGHANISTAN Bamyan Buddhas When the giant Buddhas on the Silk Road at Bamyan were destroyed by radical Taliban clerics in March of 2001 in accordance with a strict interpretation of Islamic Sharia law, even the Afghan populace was stunned by the disrespect for their own cultural heritage. For in July of 1999 the leading Sharia cleric, Mullah Mohammed Omar, had issued an order for the preservation of the Bamyan Buddhas on the grounds that the Afghanistan Buddhist population scarcely existed, thus removing the possibility of the statues being worshipped. But when 400 radical Taliban clerics launched a ban on all forms of imagery - including music, sports, and television - they reached a questionable consensus that the statues were an affront to Islam. So Mullah Mohammed Omar changed his mind. ”Muslims should be proud of smashing idols,” he said. ”It has given praise to God that we have destroyed them.” The subsequent dynamiting of the Bamyan Buddhas, erected 1500 years ago in the sixth century as a classic example of Indo-Greek art, prompted an immediate protest the world over. The first filmmaker to raise his voice on film and in print was Iranian director Mohsen Makhmalbaf, whose Safar é Gandehar (Kandahar) was programmed in the Competition at the 2001 Cannes festival. Mohsen Makhmalbaf’s Kandahar (Iran-France, 2001) Back in 2001, when you clicked the ”Makhmalbaf Film House” website for background information on the making of Kandahar, you got a download of 53 pages of double-spaced printed documentation on why ”The Buddha Was Not Demolished in Afghanistan - It Collapsed Out of Shame.” In his treatise Mohsen Makhmalbaf wanted to make sure the viewer didn’t miss the point when viewing his fiction-documentary about hunger, starvation, and death in today’s Afghanistan.
