just like Panahi. Mojtaba Mirtah-maseb was scheduled to attend a conference in Paris to discuss his latest movie, “This is Not a Film,” which he made with Panahi. Mirtah-maseb was then planning to go on to film festivals in New York and Toronto, where the film will be shown. But last week, he was forbidden to leave the country. His passport, computer and camera were seized, the Aftab daily reported. Panahi was banned from leaving the country last year after he was sentenced to six years in prison and a 20-year ban on making films for “propaganda against the Islamic Republic.” The title of “This is Not a Film” was chosen to make the point that he was adhering to his sentence.
