Close Up: Iranian Cinema, Past, Present, and Future Description
In "Close Up" the growing reputation of Iranian cinema, from its origins in the films of Kimiai and Mehrjui, through the work of Established directors such as Kiraostami, Beyzai and Bani-Etemad, to young film-makers like Samira Makhmalbaf and Bahman Qobadi, who triumphed at the Cannes 2000 Festival, is examined. The author employs interviews with directors, commentary on individual films, an extensive filmography and illustrations to provide a guide to a little-studied cinematic genre. Hamid Dabashi looks too at the difficulties faced by women film-makers in a country of Islamic orthodoxy, as well as the obstacles placed in the path of directors attempting to introduce dissident politics in their work.
