"I hope that thanks to this presence in Cannes, the voice of the cinematographers that work in Iran, despite the repression and very strong control that is imposed on them, will be heard worldwide" says Iranian director after winning the special jury prize at the Cannes Film Festival. Rasoulof, whose film "The Seed of the Sacred Fig" tells the story of a court investigator whose family life is torn apart during protests, said his heart was with the crew "still under the pressure of the secret services back in Iran".
