Early Persian cinema

If one were to trace the first visual representations in Iranian history, the bas-reliefs in Persepolis (c.500 B. C) would be one of the earliest examples.

The first Persian filmmaker was Mirza Ebrahim Khan Akkas Bashi, the official photographer of Mozaffar al-Din Shah, the king of Persia. After a visit to Paris in July 1900, Akkas Bashi obtained a camera and filmed the Shah's visit to Belgium.

Contemporary Iranian cinema

In recent years, post-revolutionary Iranian cinema has been praised in many international forums due to its distinct style, themes, authors, idea of nationhood, and manifestation of culture. Many world class Iranian directors emerged during last few decades as Abbas Kiarostami and Jafar Panahi.
