Closed Curtain (Persian: پرده, Pardeh) is a 2013 Iranian docufiction film by Jafar Panahi and Kambuzia Partovi.

It premiered at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival[2][3][4] on February 12, 2013[5] where Panahi won the Silver Bear for Best Script.

When he hears the back patio door smashed open, the writer and "Boy" hide and listen to the sounds of the house being ransacked by thieves.

Panahi is seen in everyday situations, such as eating, talking to workers who repair the patio window and interacting with friends.

It is their fifth cinematic collaboration of any kind, following The Second Look (a documentary about Partovi's film Golnar), The Fish, The Circle and Border Café.

"[13] In response to the ISNA's complaint, the Berlin Film Festival released the statement "We would very much regret if the screening will have any legal consequences for the filmmakers.

The website's critical consensus states: "Ambitious and exquisitely crafted, Jafar Panahi's semi-nonfiction tale is a powerful, imaginative portrait of an artist's despair".

"[21] Eric Kohn of IndieWire gave the film an A− rating, but called it "less a finished movie than a cry for help, its enigmatic trajectory allows viewers to empathize with Panahi exclusively through his ideas.
