Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Featuring an interdisciplinary approach, Iranian Cinema and Globalization combines theory and in-depth analysis of films. It examines socio-political contexts and local reception of films. It expands the literature on Iranian cinema to local and national dimensions, and it is clear and accessible.

Despite Iranian cinema's international recognition, there are still only a limited number of academic publications in the field that focus beyond a certain strand of Iranian cinema that is most popular at international festivals. The scope of this book is inclusive of other dimensions of Iranian cinema: it examines the work of filmmakers whose work has received little critical attention abroad, despite being widely popular and critically acclaimed inside Iran.
