THIS IS NOT A FILM (Doc Night at The New Parkway)
THIS IS NOT A FILM
Tuesday, January 15 @ 7:00p
This clandestine documentary, shot partially on an iPhone and smuggled into France in a cake for a last-minute submission to Cannes, depicts the day-to-day life of acclaimed director Jafar Panahi (Offside, The Circle) during his house arrest in his Tehran apartment. While appealing his sentence - six years in prison and a 20 year ban from filmmaking - Panahi is seen talking to his family and lawyer on the phone, discussing his plight with Mirtahmasb and reflecting on the meaning of the art of filmmaking. -- (C) Palisades Tartan
"An act of political defiance, a moving personal document and a meditation on what film is and can be." Walter V. Adieggo, San Francisco Chronicle
