Taxi Tehran 2015

Iranian Taxi is a documentary by Jafar Panahi, which premiered in the competition section of the 65th Berlin International Moviei Festival, and eventually won the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Moviei Festival. Panahi could not attend the festival due to a travel ban from Iran, and his award was received by his niece Hana Saeedi. Taxi is the third Moviei made by Jafar Panahi during his deprivation of Movieimaking in Iran, after “Curtain” and “This Is Not a Moviei”. The Moviei has a documentary structure, was made with limited facilities and the story takes place in a taxi in Tehran, driven by Jafar Panahi. At the beginning of the Moviei, there is a suspicion that the passengers are not aware of the existence of the cameras and the topics discussed are accidental, but the Moviei reinforces this notion.
