Hi Lorraine,
I'm originally from Iran. I've purchased a lot of Iranian movies from this company for my library. It is the Amazon for Iranian movies! Go for it. Take care.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
