Country Video

On the Grid : Country Video

"Country Video is more a library for films, music and entertainment from Iran then a standard video store. Rows of shelves are filled with DVDs and music CDs of both classic and contemporary Persian entertainment. Make sure to speak to the brothers that own the store. They will be happy to show you their collection of postcard sized film posters from classic Iranian cinema carefully archived in folders. If you're lucky enough, they might give you some store memorabilia! Country Video is adorned with photographs of individuals with retro haircuts and outfits. You will occasionally spot music or films by Arabic and Western entertainers. But the overall store is super nostalgic and reminiscent of a classic era in Iranian entertainment." - Khalid Mezaina
