No Bears
Directed by Jafar Panahi
Produced by Jafar Panahi Productions
A meta-layered drama about artistic constraint and human displacement, where a filmmaker's inability to leave his country mirrors the desperation of those trying to escape theirs.
Iranian director Jafar Panahi, who has been barred from leaving the country, arrives at a village on the Iran-Turkey border to supervise a film based on a real-life couple seeking passports to Europe being shot in Turkey, but both his stay and the production run into trouble.
