Sazdahani

Sazdahani (English: Harmonica) is a 1974 Iranian New Wave film. It was directed by Amir Naderi. The film screened out of competition at the 1990 Giffoni Film Festival, where it won the gold medal award. The plot description from the festival reads: "Set on the sun-drenched southern coast of Iran, from which director Amir Naderi hails, "Harmonica" begins as a young boy receives a musical present from abroad. Fascinated and envious, his friends make him the leader of the pack, as they compete for the privilege of holding the harmonica or even blowing a few notes. No one is more obsessed than Amiroo, gentle and heavy-set, who seems willing to do anything to get close to the harmonica and its owner."[1] The film is 75 minutes long. It has been described as the first film following the Iranian Revolution that garnered global attention.[2]
