Film was less than ten years old at the time and many Iranians flocked to cinemas to watch these primitive masterpieces. However, it would be another 25 years before Iran would develop its own national cinema, a cinema of morality, humanity, abandon and integrity. Starting with the opening of the first film school in 1925, an Iranian national cinema quickly began to develop. Since then, cinema has served as an ambassador for Iran, the heart and soul of a country marred by years of instability. As a result Iranian national cinema has become an engaging, chaotic, soulful and poignant cinema. It remains a true testament to the resilience and industrious nature of the Iranian people and serves as a veracious voice through which Iran can tells its varied and compelling stories. This is a list of the 15 essential Iranian films of all time. The House is Black (Forough Farrokhzad, 1963) 2. The Brick and The Mirror (Ebrahim Golestan, 1965) 3. Still Life (Sohrab Shahid-Saless, 1974) 5. A Moment of Innocence (Mohsen Makhmalbaf, 1996) 9. Taste of Cherry (Abbas Kiarostami, 1997) 10. The Color of Paradise (Majid Majidi, 1999) 12.
