Directors of New Wave of Iran cinema mostly from 1960s and 1970s (the time cinema flourished)despite a massive commercial cinema "film Farsi" that was economic backbone for Art House too, faced a massive censorship in 1980s, however they continued their film making and struggle around censorship but it was obvious cinema was going through a financial crisis and censor had choked the cinema.
