In this episode, we explore Jafar Panahi’s daring documentary This Is Not a Film (2011), shot partially on an iPhone and smuggled out of Iran inside a cake. Directed while Panahi was under house arrest, the film captures a single day in his life as he awaits a six-year prison sentence and a 20-year filmmaking ban. More than just a documentary, this profound act of defiance challenges censorship and explores the power of creative expression under political oppression. Tune in for a closer look at this bold, experimental masterpiece!
