This book examines Beyzaie's unique synthesis of world cinema and performing arts and Iranian literature, folktales, myths and ritual traditions across more than 70 screenplays, plays, films and monographs produced between 1979 and 2021, including key films such as \u003ci\u003eBashu, the Little Stranger\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eKilling Mad Dogs\u003c\/i\u003e. It also engages with the various aspects of Iranian culture which Beyzaie's works deal with and examines the semiotic and thematic structures of his creative works, particularly his films, with the view to revealing their dialogue with Iran's past, present and future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eSaeed Talajooy\u003c\/b\u003e is a Senior Lecturer in Persian at the University of St Andrews, UK.
