New Hampshire Film Festival 2025 Official Selection & two-time Academy Award nominee, including Best International Feature - IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT screens at The Music Hall tomorrow night 3/25 at 7pm!
The Palme d’Or winner at Cannes. Vahid, an unassuming mechanic, has a chance encounter with Eghbal, a man he strongly suspects to be his former sadistic jailhouse captor. Panicked, Vahid gathers several former prisoners, all abused by that same captor, to try and confirm Eghbal’s identity. As the bickering group drives around Tehran with the captive, they must confront how far to take matters into their own hands with their presumed tormentor. Two Academy Award nominations, including Best International Feature.
"It’s cliche to say, but the value of humor in our long-suffering humanity cannot be understated, and it seems Panâhi recognizes that more than most." -Chicago Reader
