Panahi Takes On Iran's Jailers In Cannes Film
May 22, 2025
|Mint Mumbai
The acclaimed director has skirted the ban on him by shooting in secret
Dissident Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi made his first appearance at an international film festival in 15 years in Cannes on Tuesday, with a story about political prisoners trying to get back at their jailers.
Panahi was banned from making films for 20 years and has been repeatedly detained since 2009 over his gritty, social dramas, considered subversive by the Islamic republic's regime.
His new feature, It Was Just An Accident—which is in the running for the top prize—risks causing new legal problems for a prize-winning director celebrated by fans for his defiance.
The 64-year-old said his nearly seven months in the notorious Evin prison in Tehran until February 2023 had helped inspire his latest wry tale.
"One of the characteristics of the Iranian people is their humour," Panahi, 64, told Screen magazine.
