Gary Simmons, lecturer and writer on screen texts and Education Programmer at ACMI, discusses a few of his favourite Iranian films.
Under the Iranian theocracy, the country's filmmakers have flourished: not captive to the Hollywood template of filmmaking, they have developed their own style of simple, often allegorical story-telling.
Gary provides an insight into Kiarostami's Ten, Majid Madjidi's Colour of Paradise, Bhaman Ghobadi's A Time for Drunken Horses and Jafar Panahi's The Circle. |
