ReFocus: The Works of Rakhshan Banietemad

Rakhshan Banietemad is one of the first female film directors in Iran. Edited by Maryam Ghorbankarimi, this book is the first English language study of Banietemad’s films and career with chapters by some of the most prominent scholars of Iranian cinema, as well as younger scholars with fresh points of view. 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.

MARYAM GHORBANKARIMI is a filmmaker and film scholar. Her current research is on transnational cinemas and cultures, specifically the representation of gender and sexuality in Iranian cinema. Maryam is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. She has also developed a number of new practice based modules in film at Lancaster University.
