Oscar-nominated and Cannes-winning Iranian director Jafar Panahi has been summoned for a court hearing in Iran tomorrow as part of a retrial related to charges against him of “propaganda activity against the regime.”
Panahi, who won last year’s Palme d’Or in Cannes for It Was Just An Accident, was sentenced by Iran’s Revolutionary Court to one year in prison and a two-year travel ban in absentia at the end of 2025.
