Iranian cinema has gained worldwide recognition, winning many prizes at prestigious film festivals. It has gone, however, through some turbulent decades. Toward the end of the Shah's rule, movies and movie houses became targets of a rising oppositional movement, resulting in the destruction of a third of all movie houses nationwide. In this talk, professor Hamid Naficy shows a number of film fragments, focusing on such revolutionary destruction and the subsequent rebuilding and evolution of the film industry. Many film personnel were sidelined, banned, arrested, deprived of property, or exiled.

The star system, a major attraction of the popular ‘film farsi' cinema, was dismantled. Movies were banned, cut, redubbed, and painted over to remove offending features. After such iconoclastic destructions and ‘purification' the new Islamic regime undertook a wide-ranging effort to institutionalize a new film industry whose values would be commensurate with the newly formulated Islamicate values.

The long war with Iraq, the gendered segregation of space, and the imposition of the veil on women encouraged certain ideological and aesthetic trends. Foremost was the reconceptualization of cinema from a despised agent of corruption and othering to an agent of nation building and selfing. However, the resulting Islamicate cinema and culture are neither homogeneous nor static. They evolved with considerable personal, institutional, and ideological struggles.
