On February 29th, Iranian director Jafar Panahi’s movie, This Is Not A Film, will open in theaters in America. This film is a provoking glimpse into the Iranian regime’s censorship. Jafar Panahi supported the opposition party in Iran’s 2009 election, and in response the Iranian government sentenced him to serve a six-year prison sentence and banned him from filmmaking and conducting interviews with foreign press for 20 years. This Is Not A Film was surreptitiously shot on an iPhone by Panahi’s close friend Mojtaba Mirtahmasb and smuggled into France on a flash drive hidden in a cake for the Cannes Film Festival. Here is the trailer for the film:
