In the early 1970s, a New Persian Cinema emerged (cinema motefävet). However, following the Revolution in 1979, a few filmmakers and actors went into exile per new governmental regulations. Between 1979 and 1985, about 100 features were released. While Khomeini’s censorship remained, the small number of features produced focused on sexual display and European influence.In 1982, the annual Fajr Film Festival financed films.
