for the way this film at the same time manages to find a sense for survival and joy in life which are still present in a time of anger and despair –
and for the authentic and genuine manner in which the story is depicted, FIPRESCI unanimously presents its award to Iranian director Majid Majidi for his film “Barefoot to Herat“ (Pa Berahneh ta Herat)”.
