Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi (b. 1960) is as famous for his
remarkable films as for his courageous defiance of Iran's state
censorship. Panahi achieved international recognition with his
feature film debut, The White Balloon, the first Iranian film to
receive an award at the Cannes Film Festival. His subsequent
films-The Mirror, The Circle, and Offside-continue to receive
acclaim throughout the world, yet they remain largely unseen in his
own country due to years of conflict with the Iranian government.
In spite of multiple arrests, a brief imprisonment, and a ban on
making movies and giving interviews, Panahi speaks openly and
passionately in this unique, invaluable collection of twenty-five
interviews, open letters, and his own court statement, in which he
makes a compelling case for artistic freedom and humanism. Many of
these documents have been translated from Persian and appear in
English for the first time, including an interview done exclusively
for this volume. In sparkling, lively interviews, Panahi reveals
his influences, politics, and filmmaking practices. He explains the
challenges he faces while working within (and often around) Iran's
heavily restricted film industry, providing the reader a unique
vantage point from which to consider Iranian cinema and society.
