Jafar Panahi is celebrating his 63rd birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed directors of his generation.

Popular director-screenwriter-producer Jafar Panahi (The Circle, The White Balloon, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 63rd birthday, he remains a man of many facets.

Panahi, a cultural icon

Born in Mianeh on July 11, 1960, Jafar Panahi's career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in Iranian history. Panahi's not just a great director, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Jafar hasn't done.

And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Jafar Panahi as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 63.

Happy Birthday, Jafar, you're the best!
