Jafar Panahi and Iranian Cinema

In the News: Jafar Panahi, a renowned Iranian filmmaker, was recently sentenced to six years in prison on charges that have never been made clear although it is believed that Panahi’s support of the antigovernment movement was a factor. Panahi is also banned from writing scripts and directing films for the next twenty years.
