Abstract
Starting with the first Iranian film, A Girl from Lurestan (Dokhtare Lor), a silent film, viewers are faced with notable insight drawn from ethnic cultures and life in Iran. Different directors have attempted to properly present the lives of ethnic groups in Iranian Cinema and furthermore, employ it to enrich and foster their stories, cultural backgrounds, contexts and motifs. The directors of such films, nevertheless, often reproduce typical images or characteristics of these ethnic groups and sometimes their movies act as an agent for spreading a stereotype among pop culture and the public. Some elements such as food, clothing and place are key components that indicate the cultural image of the ethnicity. Some Iranian ethnic groups such as the Gikak, Lor, Turk, and Kurds have been shown more in Iranian Cinema. This article is dedicated to discuss the representation of Kurdish Ethnic cultures in Iran as an Iranian ethnic group whose presence in Iranian cinema has been remarkable in recent decades. This article concentrates on the key elements in the culture of Kurdish Ethnic groups, including clothing, food and place and reviewed the movies that have driven inspiration from this ethnic culture.

Abstract
Folklore contains vast aspects of life such as customs, rituals, religion, art, knowledge and literature that shapes material, behavior and speech traditions of folklore. Culture is a dynamic phenomenon that is constantly changing and it represents a part of an individual and collective identity. The identity in form and in content will be meaningful in the context of social interaction. Mass media often indirectly but pervasively transfers too much information about people to the audience that can shape their everyday life. The media, particularly television, is one of the factors that make it possible to identify the elements of identity. Thus, in modern times, people form identities with pictures and titles that reflect the cultural industry and media. The present research is an attempt to represent folklore factors observed in the I.R.I.B. series in the last three decades. Thus, two sets of three decades (In my shelter (1373) and Rely on the Wind (1391)) have been chosen and with the aid of semiotics have been analyzed. The results show how representations of folklore factors have been changed over time.
