This Is Not a Film (directed with Mojtaba Mirtahmasb, 11),
shot while Panahi was
under house arrest in his Tehran apartment, is a tantalizing hybrid of documentary self -
portrait and contemplative fiction, at once an act of rebellion and a singular example of film as legal loophole: Panahi was effectively telling his persecutors, «You never specified that I couldn't make a film like this, because you never could have anticipated me making it.»
