Parviz Jahed is an independent scholar based in the UK. He is also a film critic, film researcher, filmmaker and lecturer in film studies. He is the editor-in-chief of Cine-Eye, a UK based film journal focused on independent and art cinema, and editor of the Directory of World Cinema: Iran (2012).
Parviz Jahed provides a fascinating account of the development of Iranian New Wave Cinema, tracing both the local factors behind its emergence and the international influences informing the aesthetic richness of the films. Importantly, Jahed considers how New Wave filmmakers were both hindered and helped by the state and assesses the critical discourses that emerged as a small group of filmmakers attempted to challenge popular cinematic conventions in Iran in the 1960s to establish an intellectual, more artistic cinematic practice. --Michelle Langford, Associate Professor, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia
