Neon Takes North American Rights To Mohammad Rasoulof’s ‘The Seed Of The Sacred Fig’
'The Seed of the Sacred Fig' debuts in competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival.
Neon has grabbed North American rights to The Seed of the Sacred Fig, the latest film from Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof ( There Is No Evil, Manuscripts Don’t Burn).
