First Friday Films: THIS IS NOT A FILM

7:00 p.m. Lecture | 8:00 p.m. Film

May
4
2012
Friday, 7:00 p.m.
James S. Copley Auditorium

This is Not a Film (2011), Image of Film Director Jafar Panahi. Source: IMDb
How do you make a film when your own government has banned you from doing so?  Iranian director Jafar Panahi, currently under house arrest, is only able to share his latest effort with world audiences because it was smuggled out of his country on a USB device hidden inside a cake. The format of This Is Not a Film is in keeping with the self-reflexive style of filmmaking Panahi is known for, but the work is about much more than cinema; it serves as an important document of the current limitations placed on many creative individuals in Iran. Before the film, UCSD Professor Babak Rahimi will give a talk outlining post-revolutionary Iranian cinema.  
 
The Museum is proud to partner with The San Diego Asian Film Foundation for this presentation of First Friday Films.  
 
Approximate running time is 75 minutes, the film is rated G.
