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 <em>Under the Skin of the City</em> (2000) and <em>Tales</em> (2014), while offering new perspectives on well-known works such as <em>The Blue Veiled</em> (1994) and <em>The May Lady</em> (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.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Rakhshan Banietemad is one of Iran's first female film directors.
