No Bears

media release: Iran | 2022 | DCP | 107 min. | Farsi, Turkish with English subtitles

Director: Jafar Panahi

Cast: Naser Hashemi, Reza Heydari, Mina Kavani

One of the current era’s most daring artists returns with another layered, involving, and essential cinematic puzzle. In his fourth feature since receiving a ban on filmmaking from the Iranian government, Panahi again plays a version of himself, this time as a director remotely overseeing a film production in Turkey. Throughout, No Bears blurs borders—between reality and cinema, between tradition and modernity, and between countries themselves. Since completing production, Panahi has been imprisoned for “propaganda against the system.” Named one of the 5 best films of 2022 in The New York Times and The New Yorker, among others.

Admission free for all screenings, seating limited. No admission 15 minutes after scheduled start times. Please visit our website for a complete listing of programs and descriptions.
