For decades, despite the Islamic dictatorship, Iran's culture has shone beyond its borders, notably through its abundant cinema. It's no coincidence that so many Iranian films find themselves in competition at festivals, where they win numerous awards, the most recent being&nbsp;<em>It Was Just an Accident<\/em>, by Jafar Panahi, Palme d'Or winner at Cannes in 2025. While the media often reduce Iran to its stereotypes \u2013 the veil, the mullahs, the nuclear issue \u2013 his seventh art speaks to us of humanity, resistance and poetry.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-l-iran-par-ses-nbsp-cineastes-nbsp-une-lecon-de-liberte-nbsp\"><strong>Iran through its filmmakers: a lesson in freedom<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the 1979 revolution, Iranian cinema has been able to bypass censorship and prohibition to produce works of rare depth. Abbas Kiarostami, a figure of the Iranian New Wave, embodies this ability to transform the everyday into a universal metaphor. As Martin Scorsese once remarked, \u00abhis films are there to be peeled like onions. Each layer reveals a new truth\u00bb. Scorcese was deeply influenced by his colleague's work, speaking of the purity of his images, the way he captured the essence of his subjects. \u00abWhen I see his films, I want to spend time with these people. They make me see these people in a new, hopeful light.\u00bb&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<form method=\"post\" action=\"https:\/\/newsletter.infomaniak.com\/external\/submit\" class=\"inf-form\" target=\"_blank\"><input type=\"email\" name=\"email\" style=\"display:none\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"key\" value=\"eyJpdiI6IlZXRVJGMlRGQUU2alNqUE81bitIUk5adnNVa0c4MllFTStzOHdHT1FQZ3c9IiwidmFsdWUiOiJIYzhwMUVCK1pTNnlhY3MyMmhuZlhReWJqemEwNk93blMxTjFHc0s2VHZrPSIsIm1hYyI6ImVhYTQ5N2I1M2NiYWE4NzBmNjk2NzgzYjliM2Y5NmYzM2E2ZmU3NGQxNTU1ZDFkMTU1MzY5NTdjYjE3ZTJmNTUifQ==\"><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"webform_id\" value=\"7291\"><style> .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff{ background-color:#f5f5f5; padding:25px 20px; margin:25px auto; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-content { margin-top:13px;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff h4, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff span, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff label, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff input, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-success p a { color:#555555; font-size:14px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff h4{ font-size:18px; margin:0px 0px 13px 0px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff h4, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff label{ font-weight:bold; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input { margin-bottom:7px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff label { display:block;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff input{ height:35px; color:#999999; border: 1px solid #E9E9E9; border:none; padding-left:7px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error label, .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error span.inf-message{ color: #cc0033; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error input{ border: 1px solid #cc0033; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input input { width:100%;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-input.inf-error span.inf-message { display: block; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit { text-align:right;} .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit input{ background-color:#777777; color:#ffffff; border:none; font-weight: normal; height:auto; padding:7px; } .inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff .inf-submit input.disabled{ opacity: 0.4; } .inf-btn { color: rgb(85, 85, 85); border: medium none; font-weight: normal; height: auto; padding: 7px; display: inline-block; background-color: white; box-shadow: 0px 1px 1px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.24); border-radius: 2px; line-height: 1em; } .inf-rgpd { margin:25px 0px 15px 0px; color:#555555; } <\/style> <div class=\"inf-main_3000311ca56a1cb93397bc676c0b7fff\"> <h4>NEWSLETTER DU REGARD LIBRE<\/h4> <span>Receive our articles every Sunday.<\/span> <div class=\"inf-success\" style=\"display:none\"> <h4>Your subscription to our weekly newsletter has been successfully registered!<\/h4> <p> <a href=\"#\" class=\"inf-btn\">\u00ab<\/a> <\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"inf-content\"> <div class=\"inf-input inf-input-text\"> <input type=\"text\" name=\"inf[1]\" data-inf-meta = \"1\" data-inf-error = \"Merci de renseigner une adresse email\" required=\"required\" placeholder=\"Email\" > <\/div> <div class=\"inf-submit\"> <input type=\"submit\" name=\"\" value=\"Sign up\"> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/form>\n\n\n\n<p>For proof of this, we need look no further than his masterpieces: the Koker trilogy, about an eponymous village in northern Iran (1987, 1991, 1994),&nbsp;<em>Taste of Cherry<\/em>&nbsp;(1994),&nbsp;<em>The Wind Will Carry Us<\/em>&nbsp;(1999). Kiarostami films the will to live, the seemingly insignificant everyday life and the beauty of the Iranian landscape, while at the same time offering a subtle critique of social inequality. Cinema thus becomes an act of resistance: showing what those in power seek to hide.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-le-drame-prive-pour-evoquer-le-politique-nbsp\"><strong>Private drama to evoke the political<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, many Iranian directors focus on individual dramas or news stories to evoke the upheavals, political violence and conflicts that run through their society: in&nbsp;<em>Sun Children<\/em>&nbsp;(2021), children are enlisted by a criminal to find a treasure buried beneath a school. They must infiltrate the school and become students, giving them unexpected access to education.&nbsp;<em>A Hero&nbsp;<\/em>(2021), by Asghar Farhadi, explores the mechanisms of debt and reputation in a society where appearance takes precedence over truth. Farhadi is the only filmmaker in the world to have won the Oscar for Best Foreign Film twice, once for&nbsp;<em>A Separation<\/em>&nbsp;(2011) in 2012 and for&nbsp;<em>The Salesman<\/em>&nbsp;(2016) in 2017.&nbsp;<em>It Was Just an Accident<\/em>, tells the story of a tragic encounter between a man and a father he believes to be his tormentor.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other highlights include&nbsp;<em>Persepolis<\/em>&nbsp;(2007), by Marjane Satrapi, adapted from her autobiographical comic book. Through the eyes of a little girl, she recounts the revolution, the Iran-Iraq war, the repression of a Westernized middle class, and the heartbreak of exile. Awarded a prize at Cannes and nominated for an Oscar, the cartoon is an ode to freedom of thought.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Iranian filmmakers compete creatively despite the bans and restrictions imposed by the regime, and the prison sentences many of them have endured; they deceive the censors by showing them truncated versions of their films, hide USB keys in pastry shops to show their films at Cannes, and prove that no dictatorship, no matter how fierce, can muzzle artists.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Every month, our film review <strong>Jocelyn Daloz<\/strong> explores the seventh art in its socio-historical context.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-vous-venez-de-lire-une-chronique-en-libre-acces-tire-de-notre-edition-papier-le-regard-libre-n-125-debats-analyses-actualites-culturelles-abonnez-vous-a-notre-media-de-reflexion-pour-nous-soutenir-et-avoir-acces-a-tous-nos-contenus\">You have just read an open-access column from our print edition (<a href=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/en\/cpt-editions\/le-regard-libre-125-liberaux\/\"><em>Le Regard Libre <\/em>N\u00b0125<\/a>).
