By merging three (inter)disciplinary areas of documentary film studies, women’s and gender studies, and Iranian studies, this book looks at how Iranian women documentarians have engaged with gender politics and sociocultural and technological changes since the late 1990s to produce a dynamic new range of documentary modes in regard to production, financing, distribution and exhibition, as well as forms and themes.
In mapping out the politics and aesthetics of women’s independent documentary film practices in contemporary Iran, Women and Documentary Film in Contemporary Iran: Reframing Reality delineates how women documentarians have incorporated the unique possibilities offered by the documentary medium to perform their agency, subjectivity and creativity, and how the medium of documentary itself has served as a much-needed document of, and advocate for, Iranian women’s issues.
Najmeh Moradiyan-Rizi is Assistant Professor of Film Studies at the Old Dominion University in Virginia, USA.
