Abstract
With an extensive filmography as an actor and screenwriter, Vahid Jalilvand has attained international recognition most notably as a film director. The authors emphasize that his works manifest the main features of the established national film school, as well as the export potential of the Iranian film industry. In his films, Jalilvand is increasingly exploring the interaction of man and the world on a global scale, which makes them more accessible for the mass audiences worldwide.
