The Dryden will screen Jafar Panahi's Taxi (Jafar Panahi, Iran 2015, 82 min., DCP, Farsi w/subtitles).

Internationally acclaimed director Jafar Panahi (This Is Not a Film) drives a yellow cab through the vibrant streets of Tehran, picking up a diverse (and representative) group of passengers in a single day. Each man, woman, and child candidly expresses his or her own view of the world, while being interviewed by the curious and gracious driver/director. Panahi's camera, placed on the dashboard of his mobile film studio, captures a spirited slice of Iranian society while also brilliantly redefining the borders of comedy, drama, and cinema. Winner of the Golden Bear for best film at 2015 Berlin Film Festival.
