About the Event
Directed by Jafar Panahi | Drama | Persian/Azerbaijani/English subtitles | 107 mins | Iran | 2022
Panahi plays himself, a filmmaker trying to direct a cast and crew in Turkey, who is forced to remain in an Iranian village close to the border. As his actors perform their own story of attempted escape to Europe, Panahi finds himself coming up against suspicion and local traditions. Arguably the filmmaker’s richest and most complex work to date BFI
A complex layer cake of guilt and suspicion, where even a great shot by a master director is a suspect device FINANCIAL TIMES
