🎬 Cannes Palme d'Or Goes to Jafar Panahi!
At the 78th Cannes Film Festival, the Palme d'Or was awarded to Jafar Panahi’s It Was Just An Accident 🇮🇷
A powerful story of a man confronting echoes of past oppression.
On stage, Panahi urged Iranians:
“Let’s unite beyond differences. What matters most now is freedom for Iran.”
📽️ Despite a 20-year filmmaking & travel ban since 2010,
Panahi continued to secretly make films and send them abroad.
A veteran of Venice & Berlin, now crowned at Cannes.
