Iranian director Jafar Panahi has been jailed and banned from filmmaking. Will the acclaim for his latest, the stirring “It Was Just an Accident,” protect him from authorities, or make him a target once again?

Surveillance and propaganda reign supreme in the fictional world of “1984”—for which generations have found real-life parallels, again and again. The new film “Orwell: 2+2=5” argues that noting such similarities isn’t enough, writes Shirley Li:
It’s Not Enough to Read Orwell
A new film argues that, in an era of rising authoritarianism, audiences have become too numb to the speculative force of “1984.”

Review coming soon: Arco is a somewhat somber and beautiful French sci-fi adventure about wanting a better world and a future full of change. One of those films that makes you love animation and cinema. #AIF25 #AIF2025

I saw the new George Orwell documentary last night. It’s called 2+2=5. I have been a little bit squeamish about applying the word totalitarian to Trump and the Republicans. Not anymore. We are experiencing a totalitarian movement. There’s no question.

from me -- a profile of Jafar Panahi, a filmmaker whose work has perfectly met our age of surveillance and interrogation and asks the imperative question of: Who are we, and what comes next? IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT = masterpiece, imo.
Since his 2010 imprisonment, the director has been in an endless game of chicken with the Iranian regime. In his defiant new film, ‘It Was Just an Accident,’ a group of Iranians consider killing the man who tortured them in prison.

Prophetic and imaginative, few authors have captured the modern political imagination like George Orwell, author of “Animal Farm” and “1984.”
