Imprisoned Iranian film-makers Mohammad Rasoulof and Jafar Panahi have both found success in Cannes. Film distribution company Pretty Pictures has bought the world rights for Iranian director Mohammad Rasoulof's Good Bye (Bé Omid É Didar). Rasoulof has been sentenced to imprisonment in Iran on propaganda charges and banned from film-making –(along with fellow Iranian film-maker Jafar Panahi ) so he made Good Bye in "semi-clandestine conditions". The film, about a young Tehran lawyer who seeks a visa to leave Iran, was a last-minute addition to the Un Certain Regard sidebar in Cannes. Rasoulof cannot travel outside Iran, but his film's star Leyla Zareh and other cast members are expected to attend the Cannes screening on Saturday. |
