14 Films That Have Been Banned in Iran Since 2007

Under President Hassan Rouhani, Iran has continued to ban films despite his repeated statements on the need to allow more cultural freedoms in the Islamic Republic.

"Rastakhiz" was the latest addition to the list of forbidden cinema, barred from screens in July 2015 by the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance, under the direct authority of Rouhani.

The International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran has compiled the following report on 14 films banned since 2007 in Iran. Other films may also have faced censorship issues but their makers have chosen to remain quiet, hoping to eventually get a screening permit.
