Информация о фильме

No Bears is the outstanding film from acclaimed Iranian auteur Jafar Panahi. In the film Panahi plays himself, a filmmaker trying to direct a cast and crew in Turkey, who is forced to remain in an Iranian village close to the border. As his actors perform their own story of attempted escape to Europe, Panahi finds himself coming up against suspicion and local traditions in the village where he is staying. Panahi's film is a testimony to how artistry and protest can find inspiration in the very restrictions that he and other creative voices face.
