JAFAR PANAHI | IRAN | 2006 | 93 MIN | PG | FARSI
Rife with controversy in the eyes of Iran’s Ministry of Guidance, a group of Iranian girls disguise themselves to sneak into a mens-only soccer match. From the margins of the stadium, they quietly challenge the rules designed to keep them out in Panahi’s covertly and digitally shot last feature before his long running house arrest.
Cast: Sima Mobarak-Shahi, Shayesteh Irani, Ayda Sadeqi, Golnaz Farmani
Part of the Philadelphia Film Society's Director Series - OUT OF BOUNDS: JAFAR PANAHI
Winner of the Palme d’Or at this year’s Cannes Film Festival for IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT, Iran’s Jafar Panahi has built a career blurring the lines between fact and fiction, life and film. Banned from making films for 20 years and under constant house arrest, Panahi’s inspiring work is itself an act of resistance.
