Focus on Jafar Panahi
A leading figure in Iranian New Wave cinema, Panahi has now won the 'grand slam' of filmmaking: the highest honours at all four of the world's most prestigious international film festivals.
Focus on Jafar Panahi is a rare opportunity to see the full scope of Panahi’s cinematic vision across 30 years, as he has continuously created films through imprisonment, regime hostility, and decades where he was banned from both travel and filmmaking.
Explore his early career, the remarkable works made in defiance of censorship, and his latest film, the critically-acclaimed It Was Just an Accident, marking a powerful new chapter in his career.
