Abstract
The purpose of this article, in addition to addressing the fields of the emergence of the New Wave, is to answer the question: What effect did the mentioned current have on the developments of the political culture of Iran, especially in the relevant period? Here, cinema is considered as a cultural mediator that reflects social and political realities and adds to the society's awareness of its situation, especially through the symbolization of social and political realities. The findings of the research show that the New Wave of Iranian cinema played a significant role in bringing the general audience to such self-awareness and as a result, affected the political culture of the society in those inflammatory years to some extent with its transmission messages. The continuation of New Wave in the next generations, especially after the Islamic revolution, is a proof of the aforementioned transformation. This article is presented in a descriptive-analytical format by collecting library sources as well as criticizing the films of the New Wave of Iranian cinema with the semiotics method.
