Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival\, the film is a tense\, darkly humorous thriller about Vahid\, a mechanic who believes he has reencountered Eghbal\, the intelligence officer who once tortured him. As Vahid gathers others whose lives were also scarred by Eghbal\, a dangerous plan for revenge takes shape. Panahi crafts a powerful meditation on justice\, morality\, and resistance under repression. A NEON release and a NYFF63 Main Slate selection. \nPOST SCREENING PANEL DISCUSSION\nOur distinguished panel will discuss IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT in the context of Iranian cinema\, political expression\, and the role of art as resistance under authoritarian rule. \nALI BANUAZIZI\, Ph.D.\nResearch Professor of Political Science at Boston College and Faculty Affiliate at the Center for International Studies at M.I.T. \nAli Banuazizi’s research focuses on the political cultures of the Middle East and the comparative study of religion\, civil society\, and politics.

SUMMARY:West Newton Cinema presents Producers Circle: Nine
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening with filmmakers Jeremy S. Levine and Rachael DeCruz as they share a rough cut and discuss the making of their documentary\, “Nine”. \nIn this contemplative\, immersive documentary\, we see two men’s parallel lives unfold\, separated by generations and bound together by experience. In Act I\, Nine interweaves the lives of Gerald and Henry. They are both stuck. Henry’s life in prison is on loop; he works as a janitor\, calls his wife Juanita—who stayed with him during his decades of incarceration—and mentors the younger men while playing dominos before starting it all over again the next day. Gerald frantically juggles his day job\, his activism\, and at night\, he digs into the archives of Henry’s case\, looking for something—anything—that will help bring his Pops home. Act II centers on Gerald’s campaign to free Henry. Gerald and his team of formerly incarcerated activists strategize on ways to bring Henry home. They work to pass a bill Gerald wrote while still in prison that would radically transform the clemency board. Gerald records emotional video testimonies from men whose lives Henry transformed. He’s worried it’s not enough and that he’s failing Henry. Things come to a head in Act III\, leading to Henry’s clemency hearing and his unexpected freedom after 45 years of incarceration. \nWith quiet attention to details\, Nine feels like a cinematic poem. In moments small and large\, the film builds a beautiful\, lyrical world that explores the resilience and joy that can be found in our most cherished relationships. \nJeremy S. Levine\, Director/Producer\nLevine’s work explores race\, class\, and the power of parental bonds through cinematic\, formally rigorous films. \nRachael DeCruz\, Director/Producer\nDeCruz’s work centers on how familial and community bonds fortify people to push back against racist systems. \nProducer’s Circle is an opportunity to:\nExperience excerpts of a filmmaker’s past work to understand their vision and craftsmanship.\n-Engage directly with in-progress productions that need your support.\n-Participate in shaping the final stages of a film’s journey\, through discussion and financial contributions.\n-Foster a Vibrant Film Community. Beyond supporting a single documentary\, your participation helps strengthen Boston’s larger documentary scene. By investing in these works-in-progress\, you become part of a community pushing the boundaries of independent storytelling\, inspiring future filmmakers\, and expanding the city’s creative horizons.
