synopsis
Bahram, a 40-year old Iranian filmmaker, has never seen his films screened in his own country because of the censorship imposed by the Ministry of Culture. When his last project his censored once again, he decides to organize a clandestine screening with his intrepid producer.
Asgari once again tackles the innate contradictions embedded within oppressive systems, this time turning to the world of filmmaking, further thematically complicated by the metafictional involvement of several cinematic collaborators from "Terrestrial Verses".
Cineuropa
The picture has a scrappy, off-the-cuff energy and an impish, defiant spirit. It makes a persuasive case that art – and laughter – are potent weapons in the struggle against oppression.
