Persian Film, also known as Filmfarsi (Persian: فیلمفارسی), is a cinematic term used in Iranian cinema criticism. It was coined by Iranian film critic, Hushang Kavusi. It was coined to describe low-quality films mostly copied from the Bollywood cinema and with poor plots, mostly arranged with dance and singing.[1][2] The major focus for Iranian films prior to the Iranian revolution were thrillers, melodrama, music, and introducing unrealistic heroes. This kind of filmmaking was suppressed after revolution by more strict laws on relations between men and women. The suppression of the Filmfarsi genre encouraged the Iranian New Wave of modern films in Iranian cinema.
