Aylsham Picture House is hosting a special screening of It Was Just An Accident (12A) at the Town Hall. Directed by the acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi—who bravely shot the project in secret from the regime—this spellbinding film brilliantly balances ambiguity, dark comedy, and profound pathos.
The narrative begins with an unfortunate encounter with a dog, setting off a chain of surreal events. It follows a group of former political prisoners who confront a severe moral dilemma after kidnapping a man they suspect to be their former tormentor, identified only by the distinctive sound of his prosthetic leg.
It is a rare opportunity to view such a powerful, internationally celebrated piece of cinema on the big screen locally. Guests are encouraged to arrive early, purchase a drink from the bar, and settle in for this remarkable Persian-language film, which is presented with English subtitles.
