The cinematic representation of such themes entails fundamental changes in the characters, mythical space and time. In this study, we examine the evolution of the process of transforming mythical phenomena of fairy into cinematic imagery that results from a change in kinship. The present study adopts using the mythical critique and the inter-semiotic approach and Jenetteey’s hypertextualite theory to examine the mythical aspects of fairy and how it developments and analyze the similarities and differences of the definitions of fairy in literature Persian, Myth and legend With its definitions in the Current and modern world as well as in the cinema and Ab-Pariya series. hypertextualite is a type of Gerard Genette’s Transtextualite Genette used the concept in order to expand on the Intertextualite theory. The term Intertextualite was coined by Julia Kristeva. Kristeva first applied the term in her studies on Mikhail Bakhtin. In those studies, she set to investigate the relationship between two texts. According to Intertextualite theory, a text may be influenced by some previously written texts by other authors. Hyper-textualite includes “trigonomy” which refers to the possible differences between present text and previously written texts and “homogeneity” which refers to the similarities between present text and previously written texts and in some cases its imitation from the previous text.
