Despite a crisis of creativity, competition from foreign films, government competition with the private sector, strict censorship, and rampant inflation, all of which led to a sharp decline in both the quality and the quantity of films being produced, the persian cinema made immense technical and aesthetic progress in this period. Since the new historical era with its rise of social, economic and political consciousness, intellectuals have been getting involved in the making of films.
World cinema does more than entertain—it preserves and reflects cultural identities. Films often serve as historical records, capturing the essence of society, politics, and traditions of their time. Japanese films frequently explore themes of honor, nature, and human relationships, reflecting societal norms and philosophy. French New Wave cinema challenged traditional narratives and aesthetics, reflecting post-war Europe’s desire for innovation and personal expression.
