He studied sociology at Shiraz University and film editing at Tehran's Sooreh Institute of Higher Education Institute. His features include Gagooman (2002), Jazireh Ahani (2005), Baad-e-Daboor (2008), Keshtzar Haye Sepid (2009), Bé Omid é Didar (2011), which received the Jury Prize and Best Director Award at Cannes, and Dast-Neveshtehaa Nemisoosand (2013), which won the FIPRESCI Prize at Cannes. Thus far, the Iranian authorities refuse to let Mohammad Rasoulof leave the country. In these circumstances, Doclisboa organisation has decided to leave his place as President of the Jury empty, as an act of support and solidarity with the Iranian filmmaker. We denounce that measure as a civil and human rights violation, and as disrespect toward one of the building blocks of any political regime's legitimacy: freedom of expression, opinion, and artistic and intellectual creation.
