Iranian-Canadian director prevented from leaving Tehran to attend London film fest
An Iranian-Canadian director says he was unable to attend a film festival in London Friday as Iranian authorities prevented his departure.
While promoting the film, Haghighi told Variety his Iranian-Canadian identity was important to him. Haghighi attended school in Ontario and Quebec, and he told the entertainment publication he still has close friends in Canada. Public anger in Iran has coalesced around last month’s death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini, who had been detained by the country’s morality police, an advocacy group said. Amini’s death has led to a series of demonstrations against the government, some in which girls and women remove their mandatory head scarves on the street in a show of solidarity.
“The very fact that I am talking to you in this video right now undermines that plan,” said Haghighi. The London Film Festival said it supports Haghighi and all filmmakers in their freedom to present their films around the world.
