Defining Films
Profile
A filmmaker under siege by his own state, yet defiant in his refusal to stop filming. Panahi's work is an act of resistance — intimate, formally inventive, turning confinement into cinema. He documents the undocumentable.
In Their Own Words
Working with Kiarostami was like going to a private film school. On Through the Olive Trees I really understood what filmmaking was about.
