On December 20, 2010, Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi was convicted of "assembly and colluding with the intention to com¬mit crimes against the country’s national security and propaganda against the Islamic Republic." His sentence: six years in prison and a twenty-year ban on filmmaking or giving any form of interview. Mojtaba Mirtahmasb films the Iranian director at home, living his daily life, and delivering a master class on how to make a film without making a film. "This Is Not a Film" proves that even if a political entity tries to take the power of filmmaking away from a director, there's nothing that can be done if that filmmaker possesses creativity, skill and intelligence. Comfortable in front of the camera but not allowed to hold it, Panahi is bereft of arrogance as he goes through his chores. Mirtahmasb shows lecturing Panahi on directing nonprofessional actors, contending that the director is never fully responsible for the content.
