The co-director and star of Iranian dissident film-maker Jafar Panahi's Berlin prizewinner Closed Curtain have had their passports confiscated by officials.

The move means Kambuzia Partovi and actor Maryam Moghadam will no longer be able to go abroad to promote the winner of the 2013 Silver Bear for best screenplay. Panahi himself remains under house arrest in the Islamic Republic after being banned from making films for 20 years and sentenced to six years in prison in December 2010.

Mid-week at the Berlinale, two filmmaking masters debuted features that highlighted incarceration. No stranger to imprisonment, Iran's celebrated dissident filmmaker Jafar Panahi is officially banned from filmmaking and traveling for the next 20 years, but teamed up with co-director Kamboziya Partovi and a skeleton crew on Closed Curtain (Pardé), about a man and his dog on the run and taking place entirely in a single villa. Bruno Dumont's Camille Claudel, 1915 stars Juliette Binoche as the turn-of-the-century sculptress who was committed by her family to a psychiatric ward in the south of France because she believed she was being persecuted by people who envied her talents.

‫علی‌ از تهران:

حالا دیگه این گروگانگیر ها که به اصطلاح, اصلاح طلب هم شدند می خوان کار زشت و وحشیانشون رو توجیه کنن…..اصل و ذات این کارشون بک وحشی گری بوده , هیچ فرقی‌ هم با وحشی گری حمله به سفارت انگلیس که ما عکس هاش رو دیدیم نداره

بجز عذر خواهی کار دیگه ای نباید بکنن بجای توجیه گروگانگیری .. این فیلم هم اصلا ضد ایرانی نیست بلکه ضد تروریستی رژیم اسلامی و یک عده انقلابی وحشی ست….انقلابی که به وحشی گری تبدیل شد و اصل هدف انقلاب رو مخدوش کرد و حالا نسل ماست که سوخته..اونوقت امثال این خانوم ابتکار و خاتمی اصلاح طلب شدن واسه ما…امثال این ها از امثال احمدی نژاد ها بیشتر به ملت خیانت کردن…..حالا گذشته از این بحث بنظرم فیلم آرگو اصلا در حد و اندازه جایزه اسکار نبود و من این فیلم رو در سطح فیلم های جکی چان بیشتر نمیبینم …….

———————
«معصومه ابتکار» رئیس اسبق سازمان محیط زیست و یکی از معاونان محمد خاتمی که خود یکی از گروگان‌گیران و تسخیرکنندگان سفارت آمریکا بوده است، معتقد است فیلم آرگو یک «تحریف تاریخی» است.

ابتکار تصویری را که این فیلم از تسخیرکنندگان نشان می‌دهد این‌طور توصیف کرده است: « حسی که فیلم ایجاد می کند این است که یک عده افراد هیجان زده و عصبانی که هیچ شباهتی به دانشجو ندارند ناگهان به سفارت حمله می کنند.»‬

The Iran hostage crisis was a diplomatic crisis between Iran and the United States where 52 Americans were held hostage for 444 days from November 4, 1979, to January 20, 1981, after a group of Islamist students and militants took over the American Embassy in Tehran in support of the Iranian Revolution. President Carter called the hostages "victims of terrorism and anarchy", adding that the "United States will not yield to blackmail" …

Michelle Obama awards top Oscar to 'Argo'

February 25, 2013

First lady Michelle Obama announced the best picture category in a surprise appearance live from the White House at Sunday’s Academy Awards, crowning political drama “Argo” as the best picture.
In a year where several of the nominated films had political connections — from “Lincoln” to “Zero Dark Thirty” — “Argo” came out on top among the Washington crowd, winning three of the seven awards it was nominated for, including best picture. The film is about a CIA plan to rescue Americans trapped in Iran during the Carter-era hostage crisis.

After being introduced by legendary actor Jack Nicholson, Obama spoke by satellite from inside the White House, where she thanked the Hollywood community for their “vitally important work” before announcing “Argo” the winner.
“Welcome to the White House, everyone,” Obama said, wearing a silver Naeem Khan gown. These movies "took us back in time and all around the world. They made us laugh. They made us weep and made us grip our armrests just a little tighter. They taught us that love can endure against all odds and transform our minds in the most surprising ways. And they reminded us that we can overcome any obstacle if we dig deep enough and fight hard enough and find the courage to believe in ourselves.”
(PHOTOS: Politics at the Oscars)
Affleck — who wasn’t nominated in the best director category for “Argo” — seemed thankful and nervous when he took the microphone after the film won.
“I want to thank our friends in Iran living in a terrible circumstance right now,” he said. “I want to thank my wife [actress Jennifer Garner], who I don’t normally associate with Iran, but I want to thank you for working on our marriage. … It is work, but it’s the best kind of work and there’s no one I’d rather work with.”
“Argo” also won for best adapted screenplay and film editing, rounding out its three Oscars. “Lincoln” scored two awards — best actor for Daniel Day-Lewis and best production design.
“Zero Dark Thirty,” about the U.S. government's hunt for Osama Bin Laden, won its only award of the night for sound editing, a category in which it tied with “Skyfall,” the latest James Bond installment. (Surprisingly enough, ties for Oscars aren’t all that uncommon, as ABC News noted.)
