Such was life in Iran following the 1979 Revolution, where the Islamist regime closed cinemas, destroyed celluloid prints and made it illegal to own or rent films. Iranian filmmaker Ehsan Khoshbakht grew up in this repressive environment, developing a love of cinema from his father, who told him the plots of banned movies as bedtime stories.
Rana Fonk: "Me gustó Celluloid Underground porque es un documental hermoso para los amantes del cine y coleccionistas. La historia de un iraní que defendió con su vida el legado del cine." - QUEVER by Spoiler Time
