Abstract
This article examines the limitations of three well-known directors' films (Iraj Qaderi, Kamal Tabrizi, and Naser Taqvai) that were censored for political reasons, following the rules set up in the 1980s. Regulations were also applied in the sphere of cinema and film examination between 1978 and 1990, when the nation's legal system was being built and established and these filmmakers' films faced a significant inspection barrier. The films "O Iran" for giving a different view of the Islamic Revolution and mocking police, "In the Slaughter of Love" by Kamal Tabrizi to darken the war inflicted by Iraq against Iran, and "In Purgatory" by Iraj Qaderi under the disguise of using actors of the Pahlavi regime were censored. The auditors of the 1980s, however, ordered the confiscation of these works based on non-legal criteria, which is inappropriate. In order to prevent the illegal films auditing, removing the auditing system or entrusting the monitoring to beneficiary groups is a suitable alternative to correct the current auditing in the cinema.
