Of Kings and Paintings (1) • Directed by Sara Nodjoumi • 2019 • USA

Of Kings and Paintings delves into the history of Iran’s art during the Qajar Dynasty (1785-1925). It is a fascinating exploration of the shift from more traditional Iranian styles of painting to the use of modern techniques and elements borrowed from European painting. It also studies the effect of the development of photography on the country’s art. From the works of painter Sanee-ol-molk to those of Kamal-ol-molk, this documentary closely analyzes a hybrid style of painting that borders on the erotic and features the use of lavish materials, flamboyant gestures, beautiful physiognomies, and much attention to detail. The film incorporates interviews by historians such as Abbas Amanat, Maryam Ekhtiar, and Layla S. Diba, who speak on everything from glorious portraits of kings to more religious works known as ghahve khane paintings. Sara Nodjoumi masterfully weaves together art history and Persian history.

Narrow Red Line • Directed by Farzad Khoshdast • 2020 • Iran

In a bleak Iranian Juvenile Rehabilitation and Correction Centre, a group of teenage delinquents and juvenile defenders decide to put on a stage show that will allow them to leave the prison for a day. With the help of professional actors Farhad Aslany and Toomaj Danesh Behzadi, these young men rehearse, apply stage make-up, wear masks and costumes, and use the stage to tell their stories. Through art they experience a different kind of freedom. They ask for forgiveness on stage, telling the audience that everyone makes mistakes. The only thing separating them from the audience is the narrow red line they cannot cross. Narrow Red Line won the NETPAC Jury Prize at the 2019 Fajr International Film Festival where it also had its world premiere.

Narrow Red Line is also available to watch on Namava.ir

The Unfinished Childhood • Directed by Nasser Saffarian • 2021 • Iran

The Unfinished Childhood takes a look at children’s poetry from the last few decades, featuring poems about war and religion to poems on the meaning of life, tragedy, and humor. The documentary’s setup is straightforward, with Saffarian interviewing the pioneers in children’s poetry, but the view of the world of children is anything but simplistic. The poets’ familiarity with children and their world and its complexities gives the film both its specificity and its approachability, and it is noteworthy how Saffarian takes his time to explore the world of children with such delicacy and meticulousness. The interviews closely analyze children's mentality and idealism and how these characteristics impacted the poets' work. Footage of children dancing to popular songs and the added scenes from old children’s films seem almost to function as memories and add a vivid and heartwarming quality to the entire film.
