ADVANCE SCREENING: Thursday January 15, 7.00pm.From master filmmaker Jafar Panahi comes IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT, a searing moral thriller that won the prestigious Palme d’Or at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.Vahid (Vahid Mobasseri), an unassuming mechanic and former political prisoner, has a chance encounter with Eghbal (Ebrahim Azizi), a man he strongly suspects to be the intelligence officer who tortured him during imprisonment. Panicked, Vahid gathers several former prisoners, all abused by that same captor, to try and confirm Eghbal's identity.
As the bickering group drives around Tehran with the captive, they must confront how far to take matters into their own hands with their presumed tormentor.IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT engages with complex nature of the uncertainty of truth and the choice between revenge and mercy, allowing Panahi to turn his personal dissonance into a profound and galvanizing work of art.
