Images of Cinema in the Iranian Calendar Year 1389 (March 21, 2010 – March 20, 2011) No. 16 The House Of Cinema Newsletter Iranian Alliance of Motion Picture Guilds April 2011 Survey of Significant Cinematic Events in Iran in 1389 REPORT Images of Cinema in the Iranian Calendar Year 1389 (March 21, 2010 – March 20, 2011) Although cinema presents images of social realities and events and sometimes acts as a pictorial almanac, it also participates actively in the course of events. The Iranian cinema experienced a lot of ups and downs and faced difficulties as in the past years. Naturally this survey can not incorporate all of those events and only a number of typical and most controversial happenings will be included here. To get a better view of the events we could divide them in three groups: screening and production, organizational and cinematic relationships and festivals. In the end of course we will have cinematic programs, departed film artists and the last Seyed Mohsen program at the House of Cinema in the past year.

    Tehran Taxi (Iran 2015) DIRECTOR : Jafar Panahi RUNNING TIME : 82mins RATING : Documentary Synopsis: Banned Iranain director Jafar Panahi takes to the streets of Tehran in a taxi with his camera secreted on the cab’s dashboard. Winner of the Golden Bear Berlin Film Festival 2015 Review:Jonathan Romney Much loose talk is bandied around in the film world about directors’ bravery and the heroism of “guerrilla” film-making – but those terms genuinely mean something when applied to Iran’s Jafar Panahi. After making several robust realist dramas about the challenges of everyday life in his country – among them The Circle, Crimson Gold and the exuberantly angry football movie Offside – Panahi fell foul of the Iranian government, which threatened him with imprisonment, prevented him from travelling and banned him from making films for 20 years. He has protested by working under the wire to make three extraordinary works, contraband statements that are at once a cri de coeur from internal exile, and a bring-it-on raised fist of defiance. This Is Not a Film (2011, directed with Mojtaba Mirtahmasb) showed Panahi cooling his heels under house arrest in his Tehran flat, and evoking the film that he would have made had he been allowed to pick up a camera. He wasn’t technically making an actual film, Panahi argued – yet he was manifestly making one anyway, as the world saw when the result was smuggled to Cannes on a USB stick hidden in a cake. However, the less successful Closed Curtain (2013, directed with Kambuzia Partovi) was a claustrophobically self-referential chamber piece, and suggested that Panahi’s plight was getting the better of him.

  • An Analysis of Iranian War Film Genres )1980 2013( with Niklas Luhmann’S Social Systems Theory
    Genre Shift and Identity Maintenance – An Analysis of Iranian War Film Genres (1980_2013) with Niklas Luhmann’s Social Systems Theory Golnaz Sarkar Farshi* Received: 2018/01/15 Accepted: 2018/08/11 Abstract A close observation of Iran-Iraq war films in the Iranian society reveals that their genres have shifted in the course of the society’s evolution. This questions the category-based principles of genre we have known so far in literature concerning film theory and necessitates a new conceptualization of genre, which can be realized with the aid of Niklas Luhmann’s social systems theory. This theory abandons categorization in favor of functional differentiation and helps us observe Iranian war movies in their societal context. By taking a close look at the function of film in the society as one of the mass media, and through locating the concepts of memory, reality, identity and genre in Luhmann’s theory, I shall find a pattern in the mentioned genre shift which is in turn punctuated by the Iranian society’s different stages of evolution. To do so, I shall rely on a qualitative, analytical and critical method. Keywords: film genre, identity, Iran-Iraq war, Niklas Luhmann, social systems theory, war film *. PhD student of Media Philosophy, Bauhaus-University Weimar.

The outcome of these The 8-year war between Iran and Iraq endeavors was to attribute a film’s genre was, like any war in any society, post factum to its formal qualities (western), its themes widely reflected on in the Iranian mass media: and motifs (war film, apocalyptic film), its from the TV documentary series Ravāyat-e main characters (doctor films, detective Fath1 to epics which illustrated the prowess of films) among other qualities.

Ancak kimi çalışmalar bu amacın yanında bir içtenselliği de beraberinde barındırır. Gerçekleştirmiş olduğum bu çalışmanın da onlardan birisi olduğunu düşünüyorum. Öyle ki, Majid Majidi filmleri ve bu filmlerde yer alan çocuk karakterlerle tanışmaya başladığım an, bu durumun bende derin hisler uyandırdığı ve bu hisleri belli bir yönelim ile paylaşma ihtiyacı hissettiğim söylenebilir. İçselleştirmiş olduğum bu hislerin elbetteki bilimsel bir dayanağı ve çalışma şekli olmak durumunda. Bu noktada, desteğini benden esirgemeyen ve çalışmama yön veren sayın danışman hocam Prof. Dr. Cavit YAVUZ’a en içten samimiyetimle teşekkür ederim.

  • Filmen Der Iranischen Diaspora Zu Sehen, Zugleich Grenzen Sie Sich Gegen Diese Aber Durch Individuelle Und Innova- Tive Ästhetische Verfahren Ab
    Neue Perspektiven der Medienästhetik Alena Strohmaier Medienraum Diaspora Verortungen zeitgenössischer iranischer Diasporafilme Neue Perspektiven der Medienästhetik Reihe herausgegeben von I. Ritzer, Bayreuth, Deutschland Die Reihe „Neue Perspektiven der Medienästhetik“ versteht sich als Brücken- schlag zwischen Ansätzen von Medientheorie und ästhetischer Theorie. Damit sollen ästhetische Qualitäten weder als determinierende Eigenschaften einer tech- nologisch-apparativen Medialität noch als Effekt dieses medialen Apriori begriffen sein. Stattdessen werden sowohl die Relevanz des Technologisch-Apparativen als auch die im Rahmen der apriorischen Konstellation sich entfaltende Potentialität an ästhetischen Verfahren ernst genommen. Die Frage nach medienästhetischen Qualitäten bedeutet demnach, die einem Medium zur Verfügung stehenden ästhe- tischen Optionen zu spezifzieren, um ihrer Rolle bei der Konstitution des jeweili- gen medialen Ausdrucks nachzuspüren. Dabei projektiert die Reihe insbesondere, entweder bislang vernachlässigte Medienphänomene oder bekannte Phänomene aus einer bislang vernachlässigten Perspektive zu betrachten.

  • 2 Jafar Panahi's Forbidden Tetralogy
    2 Jafar Panahi’s Forbidden Tetralogy This Is Not a Film, Closed Curtain, Taxi Tehran, Three Faces Abstract Chapter 2 brings a reflection on Jafar Panahi’s forbidden tetralogy, This Is Not a Film (co-directed by Mojtaba Mirtahmasb, 2011), Closed Curtain (Pardeh, co-directed by Kambuzia Partovi, 2013), Taxi Tehran (Taxi, 2015) and Three Faces (Se rokh, 2018), all of which have come into being despite (or as a result of) the 20-year ban from making films imposed on him by the Iranian authorities. Forcibly shot in enclosed spaces, these films are marked by a relentless scrutiny of their restrained locations and of the director himself, turned into reluctant protagonist of his non-films. In such restrictive circumstances, Panahi’s irrepressible creative vein is channelled towards bringing to the fore, with radical realism, film’s inherent conundrum between its recording and artistic properties. Keywords: Non-cinema; Jafar Panahi; This Is Not a Film; Closed Curtain; Taxi Tehran; Three Faces This chapter will address cinema’s constitutive dilemma between presenta- tion and representation of reality by means of a reflection on Jafar Panahi’s forbidden tetralogy, This Is Not a Film (In film nist, co-directed by Mojtaba Mirtahmasb, 2011), Closed Curtain (Pardeh, co-directed by Kambuzia Partovi, 2013), Taxi Tehran (Taxi, 2015) and Three Faces (Se rokh, 2018), all of which have come into being despite (or rather as a result of) the ban from making films imposed on him by the Iranian authorities. Though the documentary genre has never featured prominently in Panahi’s portfolio, throughout his career he has applied himself to an unrelenting realist programme that eventually cost him his freedom of movement and his own ability to make films, despite the international acclaim bestowed on his oeuvre.
