Mohammad Rasoulof’s ‘The Seed of the Sacred Fig,’ ‘The Story of Souleymane’ and ‘Desert of Namibia’ Win Fipresci Awards at Cannes
The jury of the International Federation of Film Critics called it “a courageous story set in modern-day Iran that deals with the conflict between tradition and progress, depicted in a very powerful and imaginative way.” “A tight piece of fiction with a documentary feel, a race against the clock that reveals the extreme density of a day in the French capital for migrants,” the jurors said about Boris Lojkine’s film. The Fipresci jury noted its “intrepid exploration of contemporary shades of neurodivergence, captured through images that ceaselessly probe the distance between its central characters as they navigate the spaces of 21 st century Japan.”
