"Taxi Tehran by Jafar Panahi" Iran, Persian with English Subtitles, 82 minutes

ABOUT THE FILM: "Taxi Tehran by Jafar Panahi"

A film maker banned from making films by the Iranian government, poses as a taxi driver and makes a film using small surveillance cameras with a motley group of passengers as his characters. Wittily poised between documentary and fiction, this film is a celebration of cinema and its myriad possibilities in the digital age while also being an effortless human drama and intelligent political commentary.
