A film by Mojtaba Mirtahmasb and Jafar Panahi
75 min, DCP

This clandestine documentary, shot partially on an iPhone and smuggled into France in a cake for a last-
minute submission to Cannes, depicts the day-to-day life of acclaimed director Jafar Panahi (OFFSIDE,
THE CIRCLE) during his house arrest in his Tehran apartment. While appealing his sentence – six years in
prison and a 20 year ban from filmmaking – Panahi is seen talking to his family and lawyer on the phone,
discussing his plight with Mirtahmasb and reflecting on the meaning of the art of filmmaking.

“Against all odds, an unquenchable artist has made yet another piece of powerful art.” -Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal

From acclaimed director Agnieszka Holland, IN DARKNESS is based on a true story. Leopold Socha, a sewer worker and petty thief in Lvov, a Nazi occupied city in Poland, one day encounters a group of Jews trying to escape the liquidation of the ghetto. He hides them for money in the labyrinth of the town’s sewers beneath the bustling activity of the city above. What starts out as a straightforward and cynical business arrangement turns into something very unexpected, the unlikely alliance between Socha and the Jews as the enterprise seeps deeper into Socha’s conscience. The film is also an extraordinary story of survival as these men, women and children all try to outwit certain death during 14 months of ever increasing and intense danger.

“Agnieszka Holland’s brave epic!” -Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
