The history of the Iranian cinema is told through the careers of its cameramen in THE IRANIAN CINEMATOGRAPHERS, a documentary packed with a wealth of film clips unreeling the rich and varied history of filmmaking in Iran since 1900. Director Sa'ati, also renowned as a cameramen for his work on iconic films including Makhmalbaf’s THE PEDDLER and THE CYCLIST, and Bani-Etemad’s THE BLUE-VEILED, gained access to archives to provide a rare and unprecedented look at Iranian filmmaking from the '50s, '60s and '70s through the master works of the post-revolution new Iranian cinema.
