		Barmak’s Iranian film education is apparent from the distancing elements apparent from literally the first shot in the movie: While watching a boy sell good luck charms, suddenly the cameraman’s hand, full of cash, is thrust from beneath the frame, as he prods the boy to run after a female demonstrators fleeing from Taliban thugs.

		Through this historic project -- a collaborative effort by the AFI, major Hollywood film studios and Art of the Movies (an S2 Art company) -- the 100 most memorable and striking movie posters of the 20th century are being recreated as a spectacular collection of limited-edition fine art lithographs.
		Using old-time, hands-on lithographic techniques, the program recreates early film posters in exactly the same way they were created during the first half of the century -- from painstakingly hand-drawn plates, slowly "pulled" one color at a time on the extremely rare antique lithography presses of the S2 Atelier in New York City.
		With headquarters in Los Angeles, the American Film Institute was established by The National Endowment for the Arts in 1965, with a charter to "preserve the heritage of American film and promote its recognition as an art form."
