In the meantime, Panahi's new eight-minute short film, The Accordion, is playing at the Venice International Film Festival this week. Panahi requested permission to travel to Italy to present his film; his request was denied. "There have always been restrictions, but over the past year it was the worst," he said in a recent interview. "I cannot be pessimistic though. Limitations have always existed, and this era will eventually come to an end too."
