Abstract
Cinema, as a powerful tool in conveying messages, can play an important role in representing social structures, public actions, needs and necessities. In addition to the fact that cinema transforms meanings arising from society into works of art and returns it to society, structures also produce media texts, and media texts also play a role in the reproduction of social structures. This dialectic relationship between cinema and social construction makes it possible to discover the realities and needs of each era through the study of media texts, especially films of any time. On the other hand, abstract concepts that do not have a clear image for us, often do not become media texts and are ignored despite their importance. The concept of identity is one of these abstract concepts that, despite its importance in the current era, has been less discussed. By focusing on the concept of Iranian-Islamic identity, the film without prior appointment tries to respond to one of the needs of its era. The present research deals with the semiotics of this film, the technical and technical codes used in the work and its semantic and identity implications.
