 Mohammadpour.\n\nThe Witness\n\nGermany/Austria\, 2024\n\nWinner of the 
 audience award in the Orizzonti Extra section of last year’s Venice Film 
 Festival\, The Witness was co-written by director Nader Saeivar and Jafar 
 Panahi who both won the best screenplay prize at Cannes for Panahi’s 3 
 Faces (2018). Maryam Boubani delivers a compelling performance as a retired 
 teacher and family matriarch who suspects her son-in-law\, a powerful 
 government official\, of murdering her adoptive daughter. A riveting 
 portrait of a woman driven to seek her own justice in defiance of the 
 malign forces working to conceal the truth\, The Witness itself definitely 
 challenges Iran’s censorship regime with images of liberated women unseen 
 in Iranian cinema for generations.\n\nDCP\, color\, in Persian with English 
 subtitles\, 100 min. Director: Nader Saeivar. Screenwriters: Nader 
 Saeivar\, Jafar Panahi. With: Maryam Boubani\, Nader Naderpour\, Abbas 
 Imani.\n\nJoin Meeting:
