CFF: It Was Just An Accident (12A)

Dir. Jafar Panahi | 2025 | 104 mins | Persian English Subtitles

The incomparable and irrepressible Jafar Panahi returns with It Was Just an Accident, an uproarious revenge tale with a bitter sting in its tail.

Still haunted by his harrowing imprisonment by Iranian authorities, Vahid makes an impulsive decision: he kidnaps a man he believes was one of his captors. As doubt creeps in over the man’s identity, he enlists a motley crew of ex-prisoners to help uncover the truth. What follows is an extraordinary, darkly comic road trip through Tehran — equal parts nail-biting thriller and madcap farce.
