Taxi, also known as Taxi Tehran, is a 2015 Iranian docufiction starring and directed by Jafar Panahi. The film premiered in competition at the 65th Berlin International Film Festival, where it won the Golden Bear and the FIPRESCI Prize. As Panahi has been banned – since 2010 – by the Government of Iran from making films and traveling abroad, his niece Hana Saeidi, who also appears in the film, collected the award on his behalf.

Production

Similar to Abbas Kiarostami's A Taste of Cherry (1997) and Ten (2002), Taxi has been described as "a portrait of the Iranian capital Tehran" and as a "documentary-like film [...] set in a Tehran taxi that is driven by Panahi" with passengers who "candidly confide[d]" to Panahi.

Like his previous two films This Is Not a Film and Closed Curtain, the film was made despite Panahi's 20-year ban from making films. His previous two films had been shot in extreme secrecy in Panahi's apartment and in a private house. In this film Panahi filmed out in the open on the streets of Tehran.

Shortly after the film's premiere at Berlin was announced, Panahi released an official statement in which he promised to continue making films despite the ban and said "Nothing can prevent me from making films since when being pushed to the ultimate corners I connect with my inner-self and, in such private spaces, despite all limitations, the necessity to create becomes even more of an urge."
