Iranian Filmmaker Ali Ahmadzadeh Banned From Leaving Country & Under Pressure From Authorities To Pull Locarno Competition Pic ‘Critical Zone’

By Zac Ntim July 24, 2023 2:27am

Ali Ahmadzadeh

Filmmaker Ali Ahmadzadeh is under pressure from Iranian authorities to pull his latest feature Critical Zone from Locarno’s Main Competition after he was summoned to the country’s Ministry of Security.

The pic, set to debut in Locarno, is described as “an artistic reflection on the anger and the rage of the young generation of Iranians” and was shot without the permission of authorities before recent protests started.

Ahmadzadeh was summoned to the Ministry following the announcement of Locarno’s Competition features on July 5. The film’s international sales agent Luxbox Paris and the producer, Sina Ataeian Dena, have also received threatening emails and messages demanding the film be pulled from the fest.

Dena said in a statement today that Ahmadzadeh is under frequent interrogation and harassment through text messages. He also said the director’s visa has been blocked and authorities have banned him from leaving the country

“Ali is under constant psychological torture, and we believe that making all these public might create a bit of protection for him,” Dena said. “According to what we predicted and agreed on a long time ago we will anyway premiere the film. Standing all kinds of threats and falls accusations became a part of our job, and showing the film is the most important part of our fight.”

Giona Nazzaro, Locarno artistic director added: “The Locarno Film Festival has always stood by freedom of artistic expression and thought. A place where cinema art is celebrated in all its manifestations, with respect for individual beliefs. We call for the release of Ali Ahmadzadeh and the respect of his physical and mental integrity and dignity as a human being and artist.”

are there any books/articles/texts/authors you would recommend reading to understand/about 1979, the historical context leading up to it, and/or the modern day IRI? i only learned the bare-bones liberal history basics and i would like to understand the communist/materialist perspective of the events/the state. thank you and have a good day/night!

Absolutely! Note that while I've not personally read/watched all of these, the rest have been endorsed by people I trust. Note also that of course, none of these are uncritical recommendations.
