About this event

This is the eighth session in the Bahman Maghsoudlou Film Festival at SOAS.

This feature documentary examines the making of The Cow (1968) and how it became regarded as one of the most important films of the Iranian New Wave, and its impact on Iranian films before and after Iran's 1979 revolution. The film was smuggled to Venice and won FIPRESCI Prize (1971). 

This documentary was shot by twelve different cinematographers in eight cities (Tehran, Rome, London, Paris, Toronto, New York, Denver, Washington DC) in six countries from 2002 to 2022.
