One of the defining characteristics of artistic products is their ability to reflect the realities of society. Due to their presence in society, artists unconsciously reflect their surrounding environment in their works of art. This issue has a more serious aspect concerning intellectuals who create works of art. Because they are self-aware and aim to enlighten others by expanding their thoughts and perspectives, they produce works that serve as a clear reflection of the political, cultural, and social conditions of their society at that time. This issue also requires examination and analysis concerning the artistic intellectuals of the second Pahlavi era, particularly the filmmakers of that time. The filmmakers of this era have distinct connections to the people and society of their time and are also influenced by revolutionary movements. The Islamic Revolution emerged in response to the prevailing conditions under the Pahlavi dynasty. The aim of this research is to analyze the political and social trends associated with intellectual cinema during the last two decades of the Pahlavi dynasty and to explore the potential interactions between the two. This study considers issues such as the possible impact of cinematic approaches, personalities, and themes on the articulation of the discourse surrounding the Islamic Revolution and the political forces at play. This article aims to address the question of how cinematic intellectuals responded to the Islamic Revolution of Iran between 1963 and 1978. The findings of this research can be summarized as follows: the cinematic works produced by the intellectual movement during this period were able to foster a parallel process of civil struggle that aligned with the Islamic Revolution. Initially, the convergence with the elements and discourse of the Islamic Revolution resulted in both harmonious and contradictory effects.
