  • Despite the government restrictions Iranian cinema since more than a decade is pioneering a new age in filmmaking winning awards in film festivals worldwide.

    Big thanks and Bravo to all innovative and brave Iranian filmmakers.

  • Iran is one of the greatest countries when it comes to film-making. There are so many truly great films, that are just so raw and timeless!

  • Down with the dictator

    Down with the censorship.

    Marg bar khamenei

  • Free Panahi

  • Iranian film makers are a source of pride and inspiration for all Iranians, inside and outside Iran.

  • isn't the hijab for covering the hair? Many of these women have hair showing. Is that also common in Islam? Just wondering.

  • @anticliche321 according to islam adult women are not allowed without hijab in public places. however most of the muslim countries have been forced to have secular government and islam has been compartmentalized through secular media and secular educational system and as a result of that , often one may find many muslim women arnt wearing hijab although it is a must for a muslim woman.

  • @anticliche321 Many Iranians have averted Islam, and the other truth is that Iranian women love fashion and beauty, and hate hijab that restrict them, so they uncover their hair as much as they can to protest this unhuman restriction,

  • I love this movie. Bravo Panahi. The people of Iran are victims of their repressive and backward regime. The more we see and hear these the better it is for the movement working to get rid of this regime.

  • Jafar panahi was arrested by Islamic regime of Iran today when he wanted to attend in the mourning ceremony in Tehran.

  • Really?

  • Oh yeah I just heard it on BBC Radio.

  • If you guys were going to go and take the effort to make such a film,why not translate it in its entirely?

  • Shiraz is my most preferred wine. Its such a pity for great persian people with that damned dictatorship must get rid of, must get freed !!!

  • I have looked around a lot. If a nun can say that 3 months of house binding like the american girl that married saudie prince, and settled divorce for 1.5 billion dollars, is ok, then who is left behind?

    How many women can U trust?

  • Great movie and so apropos for the current events!! Good luck from Canada to Iran!!

  • Handbook of rigged elections, from Bush 2004 to Ahmadinejad 2009

    Same as in US 2004 and 2008 (McCain with 5 million mulitplied by 12) or Stalin's 99% of the votes.

    THEY (or in the computerized version, their software) do not let anyone else count the votes.

    Google

    iran-hoax MattMarriott

    While illuminati media censors millions protesters, pathetic CNN has 2008 "interview" with Larry King selling agent Ahmadinejad, key actor besides anti-pope in "deny Holocaust".

  • 9:53 what is the name of this song and who sings it?

  • The desert rose ,

    The name of the song

    enjoy

  • tnx!!

  • Sting feat. Cheb Mami : Desert Rose

  • is that producer the one who made ' ali santori" ???

  • You shirio77 what you say and try to explain to that dude it is fine but u shud show espect to the others,so U are not the better person either sorry dude it is true!

  • I think the problems iranian filmmakers are trying to express are not the kind of problems western countries are immune to...which country can claim that they do not have prostitution or poverty ? To different extents, everyone does. The only reason why the current iranian regime doesn't like the world to know that we have such problems is because they kicked out the shah saying they would eliminate such problems in our country, but they didn't!

  • ????Try to change the people you frequent, then u will meet such WOMEN, I assure u.

  • I do not understand, what U R trying to say!

  • ...that THERE ARE CERTAINLY enough women out there who are NOT acting like u describe, you may just not have met them before! Good luck!

    And, on the other hand, selling the soul for comodity is the maybe one of the bases of society- means: most people don't want to think, they don't want to decide, and let the others do this for them, preferring a tranquil life of consumers and tv- watchers, watcher otber life's on TV instead of living their own intensivly.

  • they r not filmmaker,they only make something that is interesting for foriegn countries foriegn festival,they just make film to be well known and well off ,Kia rostami is stupid fimmaker in iran I have ever seen,they insult iran to get award from france usa italy and so on they do not show the real face of islami iran.U foriegners know nothing about real iran dont judge iran by this stupid movies

    I really do not know why u cannot distinguish that these product are contrived & they arent real

  • moorejr1400,

    You JAASH make me laugh! you belong to 1400 years ago when your BANDIT ancestor could claim being a messenger of Allah (SATAN IDOL), rape 7 years old and yet, have fool like you to follow him without reading even a verse of SATANIC holly Shit! Go educate yourself KID!

  • you are even funnier, in fact, why not try stand up!! bandit ancestor, i am not arab you moron!!! man muhammad is not a bandit, to make you more stupid, allah was not only used by muslims but arab speaking chrisitans and jews, so you are calling them satan worshippers as well. you need to educate yourself, boy.

    SHAME ON YOU AND YOUR SATANIC RELIGION.

    ISLAM = BI GHEIRATI

    ISLAM = BI NAMOUSI

    ISLAM = SATANIC RELIGION

  • this shows how much of a good person you are so you are the real satanic one, all you have to say it hate, fine let it eat you up inside.

Shame on you JERK and shame on your BANDIT PROPHIT who raped a 7 years old! How dare you stand here to defend such a SATAN's Messenger? Shame on you!

  • i watched this movie nearly a dozen times, i dont see any anti-islamic comments here, he is attacking the patriarchial society that is actually not part of islam to begin with.

  • This is not Bush style of propaganda but British. It is non confrontational, just like the cultural propaganda Britons used to spread their Empire. It is about propagating secularism by handpicking it and praising it, while trashing the thought of religion playing any real role in the political life of nations or the way of building societies.

  • i dont see whats the real problem with these movies, because he was not FAVORING THE WOMENS CONDITION, he is acknowledging the reality, if the conditons of the movie are describing the result in the failure of the government than the the governent and clergy needs to look at themselves!!!! get this through your head, these clerics, government are not allah, they are people, and they can screw up just like anyone, prophet muhammad says to say the truth even if it hurts, think about it.

  • He is claiming the state is represive of the film makers, and that the system and its film makers are separate things. Go and tell that to the greatest Iranian film maker, Majid Majidi. The Israelite Journeymanpictures is clearly not interested in reporting on the realities of Iran, only when they find things to separate the people from their leaders, and the religion from the state, which is going against Islam since Islam is a religion that doesnt make sense without application.

  • what is ur IQ?

  • islam , christianity, or any other ones they are all the same path to the divine, but how you work them brings out whole other discussion

  • FACTS are FACTS!

    This is ISLAM in Play! The religion of DEVIL! What strips a Pride nation out of its culture! Bi Gheirati is the first definition of islam! Those who won't get it, they never get it!

  • you need to research islam, all i see in these comments are ignorance

  • moorejr1400,

    Show me just one person who has studied SATANIC religion of Islam more than me! And come up with exact question rather than BS! Stand like a human and if I don't respnd to your LOGIC question, I am lower than your BANDIT Prophet!

  • really? :) I HAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND GUESS WHAT SHRIO77 OR I SHOULD SAY SHIRIO 666!!! ISLAM IS NOT SATANIC, BUT PEOPLE WHO ARE IGNORANT AND WANT TO ATTACK WHAT THEY DONT UNDERSTAND, i am am not hear to callyou a bandit, where did you learn islam? "Cracker Jack" Box, its good for puzzles and prices for kids but not for islam, ok?

  • moorejr1400,

    Easy to state BullShit but hard to prove? Fact is, your islam is nothing but a SATANIC religion! Wake up to your ancestor's culture/consciousness and stop selling your soul KID! Wanna me to prove you that your Satanic Prophet was just a LIAR?

  • another thing, Shirio77(666) deevoneh!! man irani neestam, man amrika'i hastam!! ameh man farsi yekami baladam!!! so this wake up ancerstors culture @#$@#%# doesnt phase me, try another tactict agha/khanum or what ever gender you are!! muhammad being a liar PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE­EEEEEEEEEEEEESE PROOF IT, AND DONT DISAPPOINT ME!!!

  • moorejr1400,

    You make me laugh kid! Iranian or not! What does it have to do with facts that islam is the religion of insane! Your prophet was just a BANDIT who worshiped Satan! Kid! You should be expelled from USA immediately! Read BAQARA, 191, or Nesaa, 71, or 89 or Ahzab 71 Yobeh 5 or Ahzab 49-52 and tell me How the heck this Bandit was nothing but a messenger of SATAN (AHRIMAN)?

  • i like those surahs too and why you only took out baqara 191 while 190-193 is same discourse? you love to twist facts. read it call you duffist

  • moorej1400, indeed you are one of the most idiot, I have ever encounter! I read your holly SHIT many times in many different interpretations and yet came to same conclusion! This is the WORDS of SATAN! Come on KID! just wake up and smell the coffee! Fact is, you are just too fool to understand or you are paid to say so! Spell it out KID!

  • The Doodle clan will put a fatwa the sub human Muslim monkeys and behead them. Then they will roast 'em in a 350F oven for many hours and serve it to a starving Gaza family.  Fuck Islam.

  • what is all of this crap that you are writing, don't you know islam, if you are going to throw lies, dont use the iranian government, that is not the whole islamic world, dont you have any sense? you are saying all the muslims are the same, that is not ture, so dont say that, act your age.

  • moorejr1400,

    Sure I know your SATANIC religion of Islam much better than you! Come on with facts and get proper respond KID! How stupid you can be to worship an Idol (allah) and kiss a piece of Black stone (hajar-al-asvad) and yet think we are fool as you?

  • show me the facts who is islam satanic, show me! give me the facts immature brad!!! allah was used before muhammad, stupid. did you know that muhammads full name was muhammad ibn abdullah, arab speaking jews and christians also call god allah, look in the encyclopedia britanica!!! black stone, kaba are not allah, read the quran!! abraham building for worshiping god, so NOW I KNOW YOU HAVEN'T STUDIED ISLAM, DIDN'T YOU COME CLEAN

  • moorejr1400, What a stupid argument to save face! Kid! read my comment before making a fool of yourself! Muhammad ibn abd-allah! Check exactly what that means kid! Read your holly shit once more and clear your doubt! allah was just another Idol! That is a fact! He was not brought to attention by your Satan's messenger! it was just another idol for Quraish and after it was destroyed by other tribe, it was declared as disappeared (Ghayeb). Come on fool! face the facts!

  • immature Shirio77(666), your comments lake all knowledge of islam and its history, its like you just copied and pasted a bunch of popular media lies that are prevailant against muslims, read the encyclopedia allah was used by arab speaking jews/chrisitans, but your mind is stuborn, you need to wake up and smell the coffe, boy.

  • moorejr1400,

    I don't even listen or watch media in USA. Talk facts KID! Talking about your allah, just trust your heart and common sense! How STUPID you can be to claim a IDOL was allah! Come on TRAITOR! You sold your soul to the OCCUPIER muslim who killed and enslave millions of your countrymen and women! Being a jerk is easy but ...

  • i dont believe you! you keep saying thing that are directly in the popular CORPORATE PRESS OUTLETS, AND I AM TALKING CABLE, WEB, NEWSPAPERS, ETC, however, alternative media is considerably more sympathetic to the plight of the muslims world over, Allah is and idol, read hebrew i have, aloi, aloihim are variations of the same allah, so you dont know but want the recognition, dont sit on you tush and make false claims, boy, you have to think, you are such and foolish duffist.

  • moorejr1400,

    In contrary, I am exactly in contrast to the MAIN MEDIA as you know them! Fact is, it was the main media who tried to promote Fundamentalism in the Aryan land to have excuse to intervene! Wasn't fact that Taliban was created by CIA for 3 purpose: Shia-Sunni conflict, Muslim-Hindu, conflict and yet creating a suppressive environment in region to have excuse for intervention! Wake up and smell the coffee! You are being used! Stand to facts and your ancestors' Value!

  • Listen pal, or Shirio77, you keep saying things that the mass media wants the people to know, you are not hearing the real story, some bits and pieces of it will be mentioned, but on the most part you will not hear about the 9/11 conspiracy plot on cnn or fox!!! you are still being brainwashed, some things they let out are things too obvious that they cant hide, but the real world order issues they will keep secret.

  • moorejr1400,

    Indeed you are a FOOL belong to 1400 years ago! I don't blame anyone in great Persia for being fool to believe what their ancestors were forced by force, though, you are a peace of SHIT for growing up in west, having access to all resources and yet believe in SATANIC religion of Islam! Kid! Wake up and smell the coffee!

  • YOU ARE INCREDIBLY STUPID FOOLISH, DUMB IDIOT WHO KEEPS HIS MIND CLOSED!!! you are stupid $%^^&*&*%^$^%#$#$%#@&@$&@$@$@^­#@#@^#@#@#@#@^#@^##@^$#%!!!! and lack all understanding to even put yourself under the category of a "decent human being"!!!! YOU ARE SATANIC BOY, LITTLE YOU HAVE TO LEARN TO BE MAN, USE YOUR HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • moorejr1400,

    Just blown up yourself and call me any name you want bur you deserved! I never blame those who were suppressed and forced to accept imposed SATANIC religion, but JERKS like you who had all the opportunity to do a bit of research and learn about their culture, yet they decided to sell their soul to AKHUND occupiers, deserve nothing but HELL! Go educate yourself PUNK, you sold your soul! Just another SLEEPING Cell?

  • Yes beejaydeejay. Iran is very evil, they kill and etc. Yes, that is what the media, politicians and third party rumors say.

    The question is, do you have anything new to say or just parrot old fashioned myths against genuinely free nations of the world?

    There is no such thing as a versus in Iran and its film makers. Iranians are far more free than we in the West believing ourselves liberated when we are fiercely controlled. The only thing worse than oppression is ignorance of oppression.

  • no iranian people are NOT EVIL THEY ARE HUMAN JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE, DONT LISTEN TO BUSH

  • Exactly. But its not only Bush. Bush's propaganda is not dangerous, because it is obvious how fanatic his lies are. But the really dangerous propaganda is things like this Journeymanpictures, an Israelite set out to demonize Iran with British Imperialist style propaganda, very subtle and enjoyable, and getting across their agendas of secularization for Iran.

    Journeymanpictures is much worse than Bush in its propaganda against Iran.

  • shat dam ass islam is the best religious in this word ailcolum

  • This video is somehow misleading. It shows Iranian cinema in 2002. Now after 6 years, many things have changed. Most of good directors are not able to make any new films. 1997 to 2005 was the best period of Iranian cinema, when Khatami was president of Iran.

  • can anyone plz tell where i can get the soundtrack of the movie "Hidden Half" shown in this video? it has impressed me a lot.

    thanks in advance

  • germanicus! I agree with you.

  • There is no versus in Iran and the filmmakers.

    The Islamic Republic's cinema is the best in Iranian history, and the freedom filmmakers have to criticize their system is such that we get to hear about it, in contrast with the situation in our West in which we hilariously believe ourselves to be free and strongholds of objective freedom.

  • germanicus=bastard like other islamic regime members..

  • dude I have no idea whats you background is or if you are supporting any political groups in the Islamic Republic, but with the comment like that, well lets say there is no wonder that Islamic Republic lasted 30 years and build its hypocritical dictatorship on the pile of dead journalist, activists, poets,martyrs... so just sit back and wait for your 15 mins of SHAME to end and rejoin with who ever you believe in, in heaven...

  • why its fun to insult islam? because muslims issue a fatwa and launch a jihad everytime it happens! haha!

  • I applaud those being brave enough to take up social issues in film making in spite of the threats of life and limb. I have made a short film to compliment this work in hopes of bringing more understanding between East and West. You can see it on youtube: "Tahirih Divine Voice".

  • Who really benefit from making all these 'important' films? If the filmmakers know that their films will be banned by the regime, why are they making them? The circle was sold to 35 countries and not once screened in Iran. Shame on the producers!

    This report adds to the international marketing strategy of these works internationally.  How come these filmmakers are still making films, if they are in the shit?

  • Don't worry my brothers, the revolution will come, and when it comes, religion will be swept away from politics in our lovely country.

  • iranian new wave cinema is outstanding

  • It's good That Iran is an Islamic country but they're way too strict and people don't have any freedom and their government is corrupt I think.

    I'm a Muslim Arab and that is not the way Islam meant to be!

    Islam about freedom of speech and democracy, where is all that today?

    I think all world leaders are playing a DANGEROUS game on us the human being.

    Please Watch this on YouTube:

    The Illuminati and the New World Order

  • fuck islam and fuck arab people

  • omid3588 say that to my face your stupid fucked.

    Why would you Insult a Islam and Arabs???

    You should know what Islam mean not how it's showing today by the Satanic Media.

    The Real Muslims should know what's right and what's wrong.

    Many Fake Muslims are trying very hard to corrupt Islam in the eyes of others.

    Those Fake Muslims are part of Zionism movements.

  • On behalf of my retarded country, I apologize for this uneducated redneck. Where are the fake Muslims when you need them? These people are the reason why America is going to go the way of Rome in 20-30 years.

    Oh, and the video. I forgot how beautiful the star and the director of "The Hidden Half" were. It's too bad Iran's censorship has gotten much worse and most of Iran's directors can't get anything made at all now.

  • elghadi... I am saying again and again on your motherfucking face.. fuck Islam... and if you come infront of me with your Islam shit anywhere close to Iran... I ll rip your throat off your body. Arabs are shit and Islam is bigger shit.

  • nmb07...

    You are right, the western societies need to be more responsible in film making too. Television, silver screen, music and all other forms of media are powerful tools. Like any tool, it can be used for good intentions or maliciously exploited.

    But the flip side of the argument is that governments shouldn't be banning films. It's a violation of civil rights, and must not be tolerated. So where do we draw the line? Who decides whats right and wrong, moral or immoral. we do.

  • How is this a case of State vs Filmmakers?

    This guy - who by the way is no Majid Majidi or close - got to film his anti government movie in Iran.

    Where is the ruthless oppression and systematic censorship in that?

    Isnt it in systematically awarding anti Iran government movies prizes in Cannes much more of a censoring measure? Censoring is much more about portraying fiction as reality.

  • germanicus...

    The films are not anti-government, the films are pro civil rights for Iranian people. People have the right to free speech, do they not?

  • They do. I havent watched Blackboard, but Im talking for instance about a movie like Persepolis awarded at Cannes at the time of the highest Iran-US tensions during 2007 from a runaway Iranian who claims to be speaking as a neutral child who neutrally observes all this 'opression' taking place during the Islamic Republic's development.

  • So whats your point, do you believe that there s some sort of cannes conspiracy workings against Iran.Thats insane.

    If the movie was good and relevant, it deserved anything it won. They are not going to disqualify it because it might upset a few fanatical religious dictators.

    We are not seeing reports like this because there is no problem. The citizens of Iran have a problem, they despise the revolutionary government they once supported. Iranians are trapped between a rock and a hard place

  • Wow,

    A film that says Iran is evil getting an award in a Western film festival like Cannes? Thats a new one, uh?

  • An interesting video - while I would agree that film is important in Iran in that it 'explores and exposes the darker side of society', it would be a mistake to think that this is unique to Iran -there are many dark sides to Western society and the West could do with a similar, honest 'new wave' of cinema.
