Pantea Bahram Different Appearance In Fajr Film Festival

At the height of the Iranian Revolution from 1978-79 and during the Iran-Iraq War from 1980-88, movie theaters repeatedly went up in flames. Films were condemned as "prostitution" one day and praised as instructive and morally educational the next, depending on whether they were needed as a highly effective propaganda tool for the purposes of the Revolution. This discrepancy remains evident in Iranian film today.
