For various reasons, many of Aslani's movies while being theoretically important remained unnoticed until recent years. In the world of feature films, he made The Chess Game of the Wind in 1976 with the production of Bahman Farmanara. It took him 6 years to finance and finally make the movie. Controversies while screening the movie and after 1979 revolution towards archiving it made it tough for the movie to come out. In 2020, Scorsese Foundation restored the movie for Cannes 2020 to be shown in classics section of the festival. He also made The Green Fire in 2008 after years of not working. The film supposed to be shot in the Bam Citadel but after 2003 Bam earthquake and complete destruction of the citadel, the project got delayed. Later he made the movie in a citadel near Kerman. The movie consists of different narratives in different timelines narrating an old Iranian tale called Sang-e-Sabour. Once again, its complex narrative and sometimes lack of budget made the film unnoticed.
