117. The newborns (1979)


Country: Iran
Directed by Kianοush Ayari

A very vivid documentary , shot in Tehran just a few months after the Islamic revolution in Iran, that captures the optimism for a new bright era with the people in power , and also poses a question mark about the character that the new regime could get as a lot of different elements existed at the same time in Iranian society and no one knew what direction the revolution could get. Ayari doesn't try to make political comments using the editing: just gives you many images and informations to understand the spirit of that time that was crucial, full of hope and expectations, when the 'Old' had not die yet and the 'New' just it was born
