Actually, the Kiarostami picture in which Panahi appears briefly as himself and served as assistant director is Through the Olive Trees, not Five (dedicated to Ozu).
You are right. Netflix appears to give the wrong information in saying Five stars Panahi. A YouTube entry and a Wikipedia article on Panahi confirm that a young Panahi worked as assistant director on Through the Olive Trees, not Five. IMDb lists Panahi as an uncredited cast member in Through the Olive Trees. Five is a documentary consisting of landscapes and doesn't have any cast members listed on IMDb.

Anyway, Netflix has Five and The Mirror available for rental but their listing Five as a "Jafar Panahi movie" doesn't make any sense as far as I can see now. They do not have Through the Olive Trees.

NYFF's line-up looks excellent.
Kaurismaki, the Dardennes, Trier and Bela Tarr!
and new works by Wenders and Scorsese. yessir. Wish I was in New York...
Yes, I'm looking forward to it as usual. Due to the circumstances of viewing and the selectivity the NYFF P&I screenings are great. I am also particularly looking forward to the Mia Hansen-Løve, the Garardo Naranjo (much praised by Mike D'Angelo in his AV Club Cannes dispatch), Steve McQueen's Shame (his Hunger was a previous NYFF highlight), the usually droll Michel Hazanavicius's The Artist -- a hit at Cannes, Ceylan's Once Upon a Time in Anatolia -- a hit and much debated title at Cannes, and the new directors I don't know about yet. There are a few Cannes titles I wish were there, such as Drive and We Need to Talk About Kevin, but those two have US theatrical releases coming.
