Artemis Pebdani Instagram – RP• @borna_joon After Jafar Pahani supported the opposition party during the 2009 Iranian election, he received a 20 year ban on making films and traveling. This led to him making my favorite film of all time “This Is Not a Film” which was shot in Pahani’s apartment and secretly brought into France on a USB hidden inside a cake to premiere at Cannes Film Festival. In the film he tells a film he wish he was able to make. He later went on to make many more films in the most oppressive circumstances, risking his life every time. I consider him to be the greatest living film maker. This is the equivalent of Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, and James Cameron combined receiving prison sentences for making movies. Please share. We can’t afford to lose him. #jafarpanahi #freejafarpanahi #iranrevolution | Posted on 02/Feb/2023 22:32:51
