The Iranian Filmmaker Jafar Panahi was banned from directing new films in his home country. The Government of Iran came up with such a hard decision, after sawn his documentary about the 2009 Uprising in Iran: the filmmaker was also banned from leaving the country.

Rather than bowing head, the filmmaker interested in meeting new challenges.

A few years after that incident, Mr. Panahi again comes with his new film called ‘Taxi’ tells a story of passengers travelling in a taxi through the streets of Tehran. The film was selected at the Berlin International Film Festival and won the Golden Bear for the Best Film Prize at the Berlin. But, Panahi couldn’t be allowed there to witness the event and accept the prize, therefore his niece, Saeidi, handed the award, on his behalf.

After the ceremony, one of the festivals Programmer Mr. Akrami talked to him over the Phone: In Short, concluding about that conversation Akrami  Says, “He was pretty happy, I was pretty happy, so it was a very good conversation for a change. After these kinds of ban, some people would say ‘OK, I can’t make film any more.'” But not Panahi. He’s not one to be intimidated.”
