Iranian director Mohammad Rasoulof on watching ‘There Is No Evil’ with his own prison guards, ‘The Seed of the Sacred Fig’

Iranian director Mohammad Rasoulof watched “There Is No Evil” with his own prison guards “seven nights in a row,” he recalled at Goteborg. Another actor, Soheila Golestani, was recently banned from leaving the country in order to serve on a jury at the Rotterdam Film Festival. Asked about Sweden’s Quran burnings by festival’s artistic director Pia Lundberg – with the freedom of speech protected under the Swedish constitution – Rasoulof noted that it’s “interesting that this discussion has happened in Ruben Östlund’s country.”
