- Summary:
- "A Cinema of Discontent" explores the censorship codes through analyzing dozens of clips from mainstream and art-house films. It features insightful interviews with 12 Iranian filmmakers, including the internationally-acclaimed directors Jafar Panahi, Bahman Ghobadi, and the two-time Oscar winner Asghar Farhadi. The film documents the brave efforts of the filmmakers whose defiance and subversion of the codes have been punished by being banned from working, imprisonment, and forced exile.
