Haméd (Hayden) Vakili is a film critic based in Toronto, Canada who regularly writes for the Silk Road Art Magazine which is published monthly in Stockholm, Sweden. Controversy Vakili is, noted that the world's contemporary cinema situation is not like the growth and shining period in the 40s to the 70s. Many of the great ones have gone; Akira Kurosawa, Stanley Kubrick, Krzysztof Kieslowski, Henri Cartier-Bresson and Ingmar Bergman. Therefore, in Europe and Japan, there are no serious classical filmmakers left. Only America's cinema has been able to maintain its success (principally as a technological form of entertainment). The passionate filmmakers in search of identity and truth can change history and also our concept of history. Baiocco is not begging in The Bicycle Thief, he is demanding his rights. These artists are purifying their nation. National pride can be seen clearly in Japanese and Italian art. We don't see evidence of these countries calamities in their cinema. For example: Yasujiro Ozu, announces his national message in a completely Japanese-style form. This is characteristically a “tendence” in cinema. International cinema, in this sense, is national cinema and national cinema is worldwide. The more profound an art form is of national nature, the more worldwide it becomes! But there is much hope in young filmmakers who are passionate about their national identity and truth.
