It Was Just An Accident TFF 2025

Next date: Sunday, 19 October 2025 | 03:15 PM to 05:00 PM

Winner of the 2025 Palme d'Or, Jafar Panahi's road movie thriller melds moral dilemmas, comic moments and shocking revelations to extraordinary, potent effect.

Despite a range of obstacles, from banning orders to imprisonment, Panahi remains unfailingly resolute in his determination to make films. "I'm a filmmaker. I can't do anything else but make films," he says. It Was Just An Accident begins with a family traveling on an isolated road, where an unfortunate bump in the road leads to their car being slightly damaged. At the repair shop in the middle of the night, a worker observes something that triggers a memory with immense repercussions.

With his new film, Panahi reimagines the Iranian road movie, taking the audience on a thrilling and devastating emotional rollercoaster involving a great ensemble cast. As Panahi says: "I don't make political films, I make humanistic films." Here he is at his most humanistic - presenting us with characters whose circumstances might well be very different from our own, but whose dilemmas, and choices between forgiveness and retribution, immerse us fully.
