Revisiting last year's introduction when putting together 2021's favorites, it is with a shock to realize how little has changed in the wildly disrupted world of cinema under the shroud of the pandemic. The urge to copy-and-paste the whole shebang is quite tempting indeed.What can we say about this year, 2021? We got a little more used to long-term instability. Cinemas and festivals re-opened, only for some to close again. We, like many, ventured carefully out into the world to finally see films again with audiences, all kinds: nervous ones, uproarious ones, spartan ones, and delighted ones. It was an experience both anxious and joyous. We also doubled down on the challenges, but also the pleasures, of home viewing: of virtual cinemas and virtual festivals, of straight to streaming premieres, of trying to capture a social joy in semi-isolation by connecting with others over experiences shared and disparate.The long...

“I watched a very bad print of my father’s Shatranj-e-Baad [Chess of the Wind] when I was 12 and I remember watching Cries and Whispers. We didn’t have a TV but we had a VHS player,” Iranian filmmaker Amin Aslani told me over Zoom when I asked about his childhood during a conversation on Chess of the Wind (1976), the long-lost feature debut of his father, Mohammed Reza Aslani. “You can imagine what it’s like to be 12 and watching the films without understanding any word, seeing all these scary images. So psychologically, I don't know what happened to us.” Mohammad Reza Aslani and his wife, Soudabeh Fazaeli were poets of the Iranian New Wave, both members of the She'er-e-Digar and Nathr-e-Digar literary movements. “Growing up with parents like them, it's like not living on earth. It was like living on the moon or another planet,” added Gita Aslani Shahrestani,...

A film’s backstory can be no less fascinating than what’s in the film itself. Chess of the Wind has the kind of history they would make movies about. Screened publicly just once, in 1976 at the Tehran International Film Festival, Mohammad Reza Aslani’s film was banned during the Iranian Revolution for being a “dissident cultural product.” Though considered lost for four decades, in 2015 the original negatives were miraculously discovered by the filmmaker’s son, Amin, in an antique shop in Tehran.
With the combined help of the Cineteca di Bologna at L’Immagine Ritrovata and the Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project, Chess of the Wind has been given a gorgeous new 4K restoration and is ready to be shared with the world. After touring festivals across the globe through 2020 and 2021, the film is set for a theatrical rollout, starting with a two-week engagement at Film Forum on October...

An A-list panel of key actors in the film heritage industry gathered around a table at the Lumière Festival’s Classic Film Market (Mifc) with this year’s special guest Margaret Bodde to discuss how they relay the actions of the Film Foundation she heads.
“Obviously there’s a commercial imperative, but we work with partners that have a great track record and who share our vision that it’s important to handle these films like the works of art that they are,” said Bodde, The Film Foundation executive director.
“People who have the ability to get the film out broadly like Vincent [Paul-Boncour] and Carlotta with ‘Chess of the Wind,’” she went on, referring to the French distributor of one of the Film Foundation’s latest restorations, a rediscovered Iranian movie from 1976 by Mohammad Reza Aslani.

Paris-based Carlotta Films, a leading player in the distribution of heritage cinema, is preparing a number of major releases next year, including a retrospective of Pier Paolo Pasolini and a showcase of works by Hungarian filmmaker Béla Tarr. Commemorating the 100th anniversary of Pasolini’s birth, the retrospective will featuring restored versions of “Accattone” (1961), “Mamma Roma” (1962) and others.
Carlotta is currently at the Lumière Festival and International Classic Film Market in Lyon, where it’s launching several titles, including 4K restorations of François Truffaut’s five-picture series “The Adventures of Antoine Doinel,” released between 1959 and 1979. They include “The 400 Blows,” “Antoine and Colette,” “Stolen Kisses,” “Bed and Board” and “Love on the Run.” Carlotta is releasing the films, newly restored in 4K by MK2, in French theaters and on DVD/Blu-ray in December. They are part of Carlotta’s ongoing collaboration with Paris-based MK2 that also included the 2020 release of a Claude Chabrol collection.

A non-profit organization dedicated to film preservation and the exhibition of restored and classic cinema, the Foundation has overseen the restoration of over 900 films to date. In her keynote address at the Lumière Festival’s Classic Film Market, Bodde explained how it came about.
“It was 1990 and Martin Scorsese and a group of his fellow filmmakers like Spielberg, Lucas, Coppola, Kubrick and Pollack were really agitated at the idea that the cinema they grew up loving was literally fading away.
“At the time, there was no home video market and the studios had not instituted a systematic approach to their collections. So they created the Film Foundation to build a bridge between studios and the non-profit archives to raise awareness and funds for film preservation projects.”
As time went on, the Film Foundation turned its attention to independent films too. “Films that are independently produced are quite vulnerable, they are...

"My lady, you should have confronted him earlier." Janus Films + Criterion Collection have released a new trailer for a 4K restoration of a long-lost, banned-from-the-world Iranian film titled Chess of the Wind, originally Shatranj-e baad. It first premiered in 1976 at the Tehran Film Festival, and has been updated and restored from the original copy for a 4K re-release this year. What's it about? The first lady of a noble house has died and now there is conflict between the remainders for taking over her inheritance. Starring Fakhri Khorvash, Mohamad Ali Keshavarz, Akbar Zanjanpour, and Academy Award-nominated Shohreh Aghdashloo. Chess of the Wind screened publicly just three times before it was then banned by Iran's new government and then lost for decades – until the original negative was discovered by the director's children in a junk shop and restored under the auspices of Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Project. The restoration had...

The Lumière Festival’s International Classic Film Market (Mifc) in Lyon, France, bows Tuesday, again bringing together distributors, exhibitors, streamers, TV programmers, film restorers and festival reps for one of the world’s leading heritage cinema events.
This year’s market looks set for a much more upbeat atmosphere compared to the 2020 edition, which took place right before the pandemic’s second wave that led to months-long cinema closures.
“It’s more about getting back on track,” says Mifc programming coordinator Gérald Duchaussoy. “The impression that we have when we talk to the distributors and rights owners is that they are very motivated to make it happen, to make it move once again. I’m not saying it’s easy, but frankly we feel a lot of very positive energy when we talk to them.”

It’s a story deserving its own film: Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Reza Aslani’s Chess of the Wind had three public screenings, likely recognized as the remarkable blend of mood piece, thriller, and social study it is. But a revolution comes in and, contra those implications, bans it. It is lost for decades. Then Aslani’s children find the original negative—in a junk shop, hardly the domain of masterworks. Cue Martin Scorsese’s World Cinema Project, a Janus acquisition, and impending Criterion release.
We loved Chess of the Wind upon its premiere last year and are elated it’s opening in theaters this fall, starting October 29 at New York’s Film Forum. Thus there’s a trailer quoting our review, in which Glenn Heath Jr. said, “Chess of the Wind is a shining example of how familiar genres and tones can meld together to form something that feels brand new.

“The Chess Game of the Wind” is a film whose actual story is at least as interesting as the movie itself. It only screened twice in Tehran in 1976, received extremely bad reviews, and after the Iranian Revolution, it disappeared completely, since the themes of homosexuality and feminism (among others) did not sit well with the Khomeini regime. However, it was rediscovered in a Tehran antique shop in 2015, and was presented back to its director, who managed to “smuggle” it out of the country. Eventually, it was delivered for restoration in Paris, overseen by Martin Scorsese’s non-profit organization, The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project, in association with the Cineteca di Bologna. (Source: The Guardian). Which makes even more interesting how Park Chan-wook watched and was inspired for “The Handmaiden”.

During a particularly nasty argument early in The Chess Game of the Wind, autocratic patriarch Amoo (Mohamad Ali Keshavarz) scolds his two sons for speaking in naïve absolutes. “Always is something for God,” he grouses with the faith of a confidence man. Taking advantage of life’s uncertainties feels like second nature to this snake, whose wealthy wife has just died and left him with the spoils of her family fortune, much to the chagrin of the matriarch’s grown paraplegic daughter (Fakhri Khorvash) and her conniving maid (Shohreh Aghdashloo in her first role).
At each other’s throats from the very beginning, these begotten characters are trapped in the same dusty mansion, each trying to figure out the next power move that will render their opponents penniless and ashamed. Verbal lashings slowly devolve into more deceptive acts of aggression. All the while, a piercing score of wind instruments bellows through the once lavish interiors.

Mohammad Reza Aslani’s gothic family thriller was banned in Iran and presumed lost, only to be found years later by his children in a junk shop. Now, painstakingly restored, it’s showing at the BFI London film festival
The rediscovery of a film is seldom as fascinating a story as the film itself, but that’s the case with Chess of the Wind (Shatranj-e Baad), directed by Iranian film-maker Mohammad Reza Aslani. It was only screened twice in Tehran in 1976, once to a cinema of hostile critics, and then to an empty cinema – the bad reviews had done their work. “The rediscovery of this film is great for me,” says Aslani, now aged 76, and still living in Tehran. “But it also allows audiences to view Iranian cinema from another perspective, and to discover other auteur film-makers who have been marginalised because of the complexity of their films.”
