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

It is reported that the 79th Venice Film Festival has been significantly affected by the arrest and trial of Panahi; Alberto Barbera, the artistic director of the said festival, after announcing the list of films in a media event, demanded the release of directors Panahi, Rasoulov and Al-Ahmad. He later called on “all filmmakers and other personalities” to join a flash mob that will take place on the red carpet before the premiere on September 9 at 16:30 at the Palazzo del Cinema, to protest Panahi’s arrest and to show solidarity with others from around the world who have faced persecution in the same way.
