LA Premiere of IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT with Jafar Panahi
An unforgettable screening event in Los Angeles as Farhang Foundation and NEON Films proudly hosted the Los Angeles premiere of IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT, winner of the 2025 Palme d’Or. Legendary filmmaker Jafar Panahi joined us in person for a special screening followed by an insightful Q&A moderated by Paul Malcolm of the UCLA Film & Television Archive. After several decades, we were finally privileged to welcome Mr. Panahi back to Los Angeles. A legendary filmmaker, a fearless champion against censorship and oppression, and one of the most inspiring voices in world cinema. His courage and artistry continue to remind us of the power of film to move hearts and challenge minds. Thank you to everyone who attended this remarkable celebration of cinema and artistry.
