The Movie “Khers Nist” (No Bears) Red Carpet at the 79th Venice International Film Festival

After No Bears was selected for the Golden Lion competition of the Venice Film Festival, the Ministry of Culture of the Islamic Republic of Iran called the film a “political game [rather than a] movie [that] does not have a production license”. The Film Directors Association issued an official statement congratulating the selected directors for the nomination, and moreover demanding from the Iranian government, to consider “the request of 19 cinema guilds, and hundreds of cinematographers examine the status of these filmmakers, and their release as soon as possible”.
