THIS IS NOT A FILM, A film by Mojtaba Mirtahmasb & Jafar Panahi, Doc, NR, 75 min., in Persian with English subtitles
"NEW YORK TIMES: This Is Not A Film Review - Jafar Panahi turns a highly personal video diary into a charged and expansive historical narrative. How did Mr. Panahi do this? I'm at a bit of a loss to explain, to tell you the truth, since my job is to review movies, and this, obviously, is something different: a masterpiece in a form that does not yet exist."-A.O. Scott, New York Times
This clandestine documentary, shot partially on an iPhone and smuggled into France in a cake for a last-minute submission to Cannes, depicts the day-to-day life of acclaimed director Jafar Panahi (Offside, The Circle) during his house arrest in his Tehran apartment. While appealing his sentence - six years in prison and a 20 year ban from filmmaking - Panahi is seen talking to his family and lawyer on the phone, discussing his plight with Mirtahmasb and reflecting on the meaning of the art of filmmaking.
