With the victory of the Islamic revolution and despite the change the laws and the desire for freedom, film censorship has been applied to Cinematic works. In this article, the censorship ratio of prominent films of the 1980s, including the works of prominent directors: Dariush Mehrjui, Bahram Beyzai and Abbas Kiarostami, with the administrative law of the 1980s, was analyzed and judged. At the beginning of the revolution, in the years 1979 to 1991, when the new legal system was being established and stabilized in the country, regulations were implemented in the field of cinema and film censorship, and the films of the aforementioned filmmakers were subject to censorship. For example,"The school we went to" by Mehrjui because of the criticism of the existing conditions using historical similes, "Bashu, the Little Stranger" by Beyizai due to the use of woman artist and her central role and showing a different image of the holy defense."Homework" by Kiarostami due to its critical portrayal of the education system. But the result of comparing the film censorship with the legal standards indicates that the censorships that were conducted did not comply with the administrative law, there were unreasonable objections, and the Censors of that decade, with extra-legal criteria and expediency, ruled on the censorship of these works. Therefore, the regulations for monitoring film screenings approved in 1965 and 1983 have been violated. This reduced the working life of these cinematographers and changed the direction of their filmmaking.
