Working at the intersection of religion and ever-shifting political, economic and social environments, Iranian cinema has produced some of the most critically lauded films in the world today. The first volume in the Directory of World Cinema: Iran turned the spotlight on the award-winning cinema of Iran, with particular attention to the major genres and movements, historical turning points and prominent figures that have helped shape it. Considering a wide range of genres, including Film Farsi, New Wave, war film, art house film and women’s cinema, the book was greeted with enthusiasm by film studies scholars, students working on alternative or national cinema and fans and aficionados of Iranian film. Building on the momentum and influence of its predecessor, Directory of World Cinema: Iran 2 will be welcomed by all seeking an up-to-date and comprehensive guide to Iranian cinema.

'The meat of the book is a collection of essays and reviews concerning several different subgenres of cinema in Iran. These chapters include essays on crime thrillers, comedies, and diasporic cinema. This organization scheme makes it very easy for both casual readers, who will likely skip around or look up directors they recognize, and serious enthusiasts, who will be able to search the book for exactly what they want. [...] I would recommend this to anyone looking to learn more about Iranian cinema. Iran is one of the most interesting areas in film today, bringing a unique perspective to the art that is examined under a powerful lens in this book. For both amateur film fans coming off viewing hits like Children of Heaven (Bacheha-Ye aseman, Majidi, 1997), and serious film hobbyists seeking to find the more obscure directors and films.'
