Yeni İran Sineması’nda çocuk temsili üzerine odaklanan çalışmada tarihsel gelişim süreci ışığında Yeni İran Sineması’nın geçirdiği evrelerin sinema üzerindeki yansımaları incelenmiştir ve çocuğun Yeni İran Sineması’nda sansüre ve baskı politikalarına karşı çok özel bir yeri olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Doküman tarama yöntemi kullanılan çalışmada belirlenen yönetmenlerin öncü filmleri de üslup, estetik ve teknik özellikler açısından incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın amacı İran Sineması’nda çocukların ulusal kimliğine sahip çıkıp çıkmadığının tespiti olarak belirlenmiş ve sıradan öykülerinde yoğun duyguları ve çarpıcı mesajları büyülü ve gerçekçi bir şiirsellikle sunan çocukların, sinemalarında gösterim imkânı bulamayan aşk, cinsellik, savaş, toplumsal sorunlar gibi birçok konunun işlenişini sağladıkları ayrıca saf ve masum bakış açılarıyla kendi ulusal kimliklerini yansıtırken yetişkinlerine örnek bir duruş sergiledikleri bulgularına erişilmiştir. Çalışmada gerek şiirsel gerek sosyal gerçekçi izdüşümleri olan Yeni İran Sineması’nın çocuk temsilinde de ulusal kimliğe sahip çıkıldığı ve çocukların İran Sineması’nın farklı ülkelerde de tanınıp büyük başarılar elde etmesinde büyük katkıları olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.Anahtar Kelimeler: Yeni İran Sineması, Çocuk, Kimlik CHILD IN THE NEW IRANIAN CINEMAABSTRACTIn this study that mainly focuses on representation of child in the New Iranian Cinema, traces of the stages that Iranian new wave has been through have been studied in the light of historical development and it’s been understood that child has significant place against censorship and oppressive policies in The New Iranian Cinema.
