本屆柏林影展最佳電影金熊獎得主《的士司機巴納希》 及四部奧斯卡金像獎提名電影 將於第39屆香港國際電影節中放映

2015年2月17日（香港） – 恭賀伊朗導演約化巴納希憑新作《的士司機巴納希》奪得第65屆柏林影展最佳電影金熊獎及國際影評人聯盟獎殊榮。第39屆香港國際電影節榮幸邀得這部得獎影片在電影節內作亞洲首映。《的士司機巴納希》是約化巴納希自2010年被禁制拍片及出國後的第三部影片，全片在的士車廂內拍攝，以德黑蘭各式各樣的乘客呈現伊朗的現代生活風貌。
 

約化巴納希是國際影壇上最具影響力的伊朗導演之一，打從他的首部劇情長片《白汽球》(1995)開始，便深獲國際認同，並一舉拿下康城影展的金攝影機獎。及後其作品更在國際影壇上屢獲殊榮，包括《迷途小精靈》(1997)、《七女性》(2000)及《越位女球迷》(2006) 等。他的電影以刻劃伊朗人民的生活與社會議題見稱，卻受到伊朗政府多番禁映。在2010年，他終被判入獄六年，並禁止拍片及離境長達二十年，歐美國家及多個國際人權組織均提出反對及批評。可是，在這幾年間，他就以手機及獨立製作的方式拍攝了《這不是電影》(2011)及《電影關不住》(2013)。

另加放映五部柏林得獎影片

除了金熊獎最佳電影，第3...Read more
