Jafar Panahi was released from Iran's Evin prison in February 2023 after nearly seven months of incarceration. Despite his freedom, he feels a deep connection to those he left behind. Known for his socially conscious films, Panahi's work is deemed hazardous by the Iranian government, leading to multiple imprisonments and a ban on filmmaking. His latest film, 'It Was Just an Accident,' explores themes of morality and survival amidst oppression, reflecting his own experiences. This film competes at Cannes and is his first press interview in over 15 years, despite restrictions on his public statements.
Panahi's new film, 'It Was Just an Accident,' serves as a gripping exploration of morality and survival, deeply rooted in his personal experiences in Iran.
Despite being officially banned from filmmaking, Jafar Panahi continues to create socially relevant films that challenge the Iranian government's oppressive narratives.
