Review of the film No Bears from IFFK 2022: Despite hardship, Jafar Panahi continues to produce radical art.

Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi has been making films since the early 1990s, and his work has been both acclaimed and censored by the Iranian government. His most recent film, No Bears, was screened at the International Film Festival of Kerala (IFFK) in 2022.

No Bears is a short film about a young girl named Narges who lives in a small village in Iran. Narges is bored with her life and decides to run away from home. She ends up in the city, where she meets a man named Jafar. Jafar is a street performer who uses a bear costume to entertain children.

Narges is fascinated by Jafar and his world of make-believe. She begins to see him as a father figure, and the two of them form a deep bond. However, their relationship is threatened when the authorities discover that Jafar is actually a wanted man.

Despite the hardships he faces, Jafar continues to make art. He uses his bear costume to make a political statement, and he continues to entertain children. No Bears is a beautiful and moving film about the power of art to transcend adversity.

It’s a significant occasion for my family and me. Particularly for me, it has great symbolic meaning. I’m a really happy son.” He continues by saying, “This moment reminds me of how amazing a woman she us and how I am lucky to be her son.”

A few days prior, Prateik learned that Manthan was being screened. Fortunately, his visa came two days ago. So he bought the tickets to France and put all his work on wait. Prateik recalled that Manthan was a crowd-funded movie, with each farmer contributing two rupees to its production. “I always knew about it,” Prateik added. I used to hear my grandmother and aunt recount the film’s creation tale. As my grandpa was a farmer as well, I was always encouraged to take pride in my ancestry.” He said, “Also, I revisit my mom’s films very frequently, it’s like watching FRIENDS for me- you know what’s going to happen next, but you keep watching.”
