This alchemical convergence pairs moving image works from experimental Japanese filmmaker Daïchi Saïto with live performance by Baltimore-based jazz musicians Konjur Collective.
This clandestine documentary, shot partially on an iPhone and smuggled into France inside of a birthday cake for a last-minute submission to Cannes, depicts the day-to-day life of acclaimed Iranian director Jafar Panahi (Offside, The Circle) during his house arrest in his Tehran apartment. Sentenced to six years in prison and a 20 year ban from filmmaking for “making propaganda against the system,” Panahi talks to his family and lawyer on the phone, discusses his plight with co-director Mojtaba Mirtahmasb, and reflects on what filmmaking means to him.
