In 2012, the Slovak cinemas screened award winning Iranian film A Separation, with numerous awards from the international film festivals, among others American Film Critics Award Golden Globe and American Film Academy Award for foreign-language film, Oscar. It was the first ever Oscar awarded to an Iranian film and the first Iranian film in our distribution. Last year's Cannes Film Festival premiered Farhadi's latest film The Past, which follows the theme of family relationships in crisis. Along with the film About Elly from 2009, these films offer an extensive insight into the internal affairs of the society, seeking a balance between the requirements of the theological state and pressure of modernization and secularism on the needs of everyday life. The content and dramaturgical structure of these stories additionally refers to artistic constants such as Persian poetic tradition and Islamic mysticism, and thus brings distinctive features into the concept of European approach to relationships among the people.
