About Cinema Cinema
This is a film about the making of Salaam Cinema by Mohsen Makhmalbaf in Tehran and it’s eventual screening in Cannes Film Festival. Viewers are introduced to the personal and professional sides of Makhmalbaf and also to the uncontrollable passion for the cinema, held by the Iranian youth.
Directed by Maani Petgar, Cinema Cinema leans on a strong ensemble — Mohsen Makhmalbaf, Ulu Grosbard, Jennifer Jason Leigh — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1997.
