This research has been conducted based on the analysis of some impressive films in last two decades. The central argument is although the city has been represented through its acute problems and difficulties and pivotal issues like consequences of immigration to the city, shortage of occupation and dwelling over time, the new generation of Iranian filmmakers react different from the past generation. Content analysis of these movies show that new generation of filmmakers prefer to stay in Tehran and fight with problems rather than emigrating from the city.
