JAFAR PANAHI'S TAXI

[تاکسی]
The winner of the top award at the 2015 Berlin Film Festival, this was the third film Jafar Panahi made in defiance of a 20-year ban on filmmaking imposed on him by the Iranian government in 2010. In it, the affable director crisscrosses Tehran behind the wheel of a taxi, giving rides to a variety of the city’s denizens. While TAXI is lighter in tone than his previous violations of the ban, THIS IS NOT A FILM and CLOSED CURTAIN, like them it wittily challenges the very notion of banning cinema in a time when everyone carries a camera.
