Views
According to Saeed Kamali Dehghan of The Guardian, his views are close to those of the Iranian government.[2] He is a harshly dismissive of Abbas Kiarostami's works.[3] Farassati uses the terms Siahnamayi and Festival Cinema (Persian: سینمای جشنوارهای) to describe films he deems "exotic" to foreign audience and of only seeking to win awards in the West.[4]
