Osterfestival Tirol No Bears (movie)

No Bears by Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi is a love film that pushes boundaries and defies censorship restrictions both mentally and physically. As in his earlier films, Panahi incorporates autobiographical experiences. He has thus found an impressive, albeit for him dangerous, way to fight for the freedom of artistic creation in Iran. Furthermore, No Bears is a multi-layered parable about the oppressive stagnation of a society and the panicked rejection of change. The city is under the pressure of authority, the village under the bias of superstition. How can art persuade a society to change if it doesn't want to? Director: Jafar Panahi
