The first time I watched the film "Where is the Friend's House" by Abbas Kiarostami, I was amazed by the nuanced and rich message behind the visual languages. Then, I dived deeper into the director's other works and explored the historical context behind his works (The Iranian New Wave). I began to see some recurring themes throughout his works -- the way a village organizes its flow of information was one that caught my attention, which is also something I have always been interested in. As a result, I decided to do a comparative study of how the director uses cinematic language to protray and different information networks in the Iranian society, with a broader implication on Iran's democratic possibilities. Before starting the writing, I first researched even deeper into the historical background, and with that in mind, re-watched both films. I realized that watching the films with a certain idea in mind completely changes my viewing experience.
