This Is Not A Film Screening at Metropolis Cinema

As part of the Les Ecrans Du Reel festival, Metropolis Cinema is hosting a screening of the documentary “This Is Not A Film” by Jafar Panahi and Mojtaba Mirtahmasb.

Synopsis: 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 (Offisde, 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.
