Author Dolin A.
Title Dzhafar Panakhi. Svobodnoe kino nesvobodnogo Irana
Description Anton Dolin’s Free Cinema of Unfree Iran examines the work of Iranian director Jafar Panahi, who refused to submit to censorship and kept making films even after being banned from working in his own country. For Dolin, Panahi matters far beyond Iranian cinema. His experience speaks directly to artists who face pressure from the state and are forced to ask how a voice can survive under prohibition. What began as a book about Panahi’s films became something more urgent when the director was imprisoned and his fate remained uncertain. Then, in 2025, his new film It Was Just an Accident, openly political and filmed illegally, won the Palme d’Or and gave Dolin’s book a new context. The revised edition expands the earlier version, adds fresh chapters, and includes Panahi’s own words. At its centre stands one question: how can cinema remain free when the country around it is unfree? Dolin’s answer rests in Panahi’s work itself.
