Haji Agha Actor e-Cinema is a silent movie and is one of the surviving examples of Iranian silent cinema. It records the changing socio-political conditions of the time. Its allegorical tale is about a traditional man in conflict with the new art form (cinema). Haji Agha, the main character, is a deeply religious man and the fights he has with his son-in-law, a filmmaker, reflect the strife of the time over the issue of cinema. The narration also mirrors wider social concerns, such as the clash between past and present and tradition and progress.
