Where Are You, Jafar Panahi?
Jafar Panahi Iran 2016 21 min PG13 (Some Mature Content)
A delicate portrait of the fragility of expression and the enduring fight for personal and artistic truths.
Exiled from filmmaking, Jafar Panahi embarks on an inward journey as he reflects on the clandestine situation he has been forced into. Panahi and fellow filmmaker Majid Barzegar go on a trip to visit the grave of their mentor, Abbas Kiarostami, and spend the journey discussing cinema, political ideology and everything in between.
The film’s layered existential reflections not only allude to Panahi’s struggles but also the broader sociopolitical landscape of contemporary Iran. Its exploration of personal and national identities captures the fragility of expression in a world constricted by control and fear, where artistic creation remains a lifeline.
