Duke University Press is pleased to announce the publication of a new book of interest to Screen-L subscribers. In Displaced Allegories: Post-Revolutionary Iranian Cinema, Negar Mottahedeh shows that post-Revolutionary Iranian filmmakers were forced to create a new visual language for conveying meaning to audiences. She argues that the Iranian film industry found creative ground not in the negation of government regulations but in the camera’s adoption of the modest, averted gaze. In the process, the filmic techniques and cinematic technologies were gendered as feminine and the national cinema was produced as a woman’s cinema.
