Special Preview Screening

Dir. Jafar Panahi
2025 | 105 mins | Persian with English subtitles
Vahid Mobasseri, Ebrahim Azizi, Madjid Panahi

To celebrate Studio 74’s 10th Anniversary, we are excited to present a special preview screening of Jafar Panahi’s new (Palme D’or winning) film, It Was Just an Accident, fresh from LFF.

A minor traffic accident reunites two men with a shared past. One is set on revenge, but then doubts set in.

Panahi, whose previous films include Taxi Terhan, 3 Faces, No Bears, all of which screened in Studio 74 over the past decade, returns with an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat thriller. As victims of Iran’s regime grow in number and revolts are widely reported, one of the country’s most daring auteurs boldly turns the camera on himself and asks: Should the victims of the state’s crimes seek revenge or show mercy?
