TIFF stands alongside Mohammad Rasoulof
Thessaloniki International Film Festival expresses its strong protest for the Iranian Court’s decision to sentence director Mohammad Rasoulof to 1 year in prison and a 2-year ban on leaving Iran and getting involved in any social or political activity and asks for his immediate release.

We stand by his side.
Here is the petition to free Mohammad Rasoulof:
