این فیلم نیست [This Is Not a Film] (Jafar Panahi, Mojtaba Mirtahmasb – 2011)
,
❝ I want you to put yourself in my shoes as a filmmaker who can’t do anything else but make films, and doesn’t want to do anything else. How much time do I have left? Do I have twenty years left to live? I cannot stay idle. I know this is what they want. They let me out of a small prison and released me to a much larger one. When I was in a small prison I knew there was nothing I could do there. Every movement was being watched. […] Now that I am so-called ‘free’, but in reality in a larger prison, I have to do something and cannot stay idle and let my life be wasted. ❞
