Description

Jafar Panahi Interviews offers a unique insight into the life and work of Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi. In this collection of 25 interviews, open letters, and court statements, Panahi makes a compelling case for artistic freedom and humanism. Despite facing years of conflict with his government, including multiple arrests and a ban on making movies and giving interviews, Panahi speaks openly about his influences, politics, and filmmaking practices. This collection provides a rare glimpse into the challenges he faces working within Iran's heavily restricted film industry, offering a unique perspective on Iranian cinema and society. Translated from Persian and appearing in English for the first time, this book includes an exclusive interview done specifically for this volume. With sparkling, lively interviews, Panahi reveals his thoughts and experiences, providing a fascinating insight into the world of Iranian cinema.
