Rakhshan Banietemad is one of the first female film directors in Iran. This book, the first English language study of her films and career, Iranian director Rakhshan Banietemad contains chapters by some of the most prominent scholars of Iranian cinema, as well as younger scholars with fresh points of view. Taking an interdisciplinary perspective, the book devotes special attention to Banietemad’s understudied documentaries and films, including Under the Skin of the City (2000) and Tales (2014), while offering new perspectives on well-known works such as The Blue Veiled (1994) and The May Lady (1997). Focusing on questions of aesthetics and poetics, social realism, gender dynamics and the ‘afterimages’ and ‘counter-memories’ of revolution and war, the book also includes an in depth interview with Banietemad herself.

Among volumes on Iranian cinema, sections on women filmmakers’ works are remarkably few. Addressing this gap, Ghorbankarimi’s book brings together brilliant scholarships from various disciplines to explore the films of Rakhshan Bani-Etemad, one of the main post-revolutionary auteurs. This is essential reading for anyone interested in Iranian cinema and an important contribution to feminist film studies in MENA.
