      Director: Jafar PANAHI
      [introduction]
      A yellow taxi travels through the streets of Tehran. The driver is director Jafar PANAHI who strikes up conversations with those who board the taxi. The small camera mounted to the dashboard captures PANAHI and the passengers talking about bootleg DVDs, discrimination against women, etc., and illuminates the diversity of people living in contemporary Tehran. Still officially forbidden from engaging in filmmaking activities, PANAHI’s latest, “Taxi”, accomplishes a level of entertainment overflowing with humor and drama despite its extremely restrictive setting. The splendid performance displayed by PANAHI’s niece, who accepted the trophy for PANAHI when the film won the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film Festival, is also worthy of note.
