The Iranian film industry flourished before the 1978-1979 revolution, producing popular and melodramatic films known as "filmfarsi". These films provided an alternative to the official image of Iran promoted by the Shah's regime and bred filmmakers like Samuel Khachikian, Masoud Kimiai, and Abbas Kiarostami.
