Abstract

The Iranian Revolution affected its Art and politics of representations. In the newer regime, the laws and layout of the social dynamics gave birth to a different kind of cinema. A cinema that could resuscitate arts and the verve of creative fine arts and sensibility attached to it. It was a call to work on poignant themes centered on intricate miniscule realities of life’s daily strife through the perspective of innocent cute little kids. This Neo-Realism touched the hearts and minds of the audiences and created a niche for its own new genre. This paper would discuss major paradigmatic shifts and various types of films and directors, within that trend.
