Released in 2011 and running 78 minutes, In Film Nist is an Iranian documentary credited to two directors, Mojtaba Mirtahmasb and Jafar Panahi. It is a record of waiting: a short stretch of ordinary days, filmed indoors, while an unresolved legal appeal hung over one of them.

What is In Film Nist about?

Jafar Panahi had been handed a six-year prison sentence along with a twenty-year prohibition on making films and on speaking to foreign press, following his open backing of the opposition party in Iran's 2009 election. With the appeal still undecided, he stayed at home, and his close friend Mojtaba Mirtahmasb arrived with a camera. What the two assembled is a day measured out under house arrest: phone calls, meals, the small logistics of a life on hold, and a filmmaker reading aloud through a script he is not permitted to shoot. The finished file left the country on a USB stick hidden inside a cake and reached France in time for a late submission to Cannes.

About the cast

The names the catalogue carries are Jafar Panahi and Mojtaba Mirtahmasb themselves, together with Igi, Mrs. Gheirat, Rakhsan, Sima, Micky and Hasan. Because this is documentary work built out of unscripted domestic time rather than written parts, everyone listed appears as themselves. K-Time keeps the catalogue order as it stands and assigns no roles.

Context & significance

The shared directing credit follows from the restriction described above: at the time of shooting, one of the two men was barred from directing. That is a fact of the production rather than an interpretation of it. K-Time files the title under Documentary, from Iran, with a catalogue year of 2011 and a runtime of 78 minutes. The detail of the USB stick carried inside a cake is the one most often repeated in writing about it. This page carries no critical verdict and no score.
