No Bears, 10.35pm, BBC Four
There’s a playful – though at times tragic – overlap between fact and fiction in the work of Iranian film-maker Jafar Panahi. Here he plays a version of himself, banned from foreign travel (which he is in real life) and holed up in a border village, while remotely directing a drama-documentary in Tehran about a couple trying to flee the country. As his actors struggle with their plight via a fallible internet link, local life encroaches on him by way of an illicit love affair and a photo he has taken. Despite himself, an air of peril starts to blur the boundaries between his life and art. SW
