Iran’s Farhadi to inaugurate Cannes film festival
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The event kicks up on May 17 and closes on May 28.
 
In February, Farhadi won an Oscar for his movie The Salesman.
 
This victory puts Farhadi in an elite league of double-winners of the award in the best foreign language film category.
 
Farhadi’s victory was overshadowed by his absence from the ceremony in protest against US President Donald Trump’s recent travel ban on seven predominantly Muslim countries including Iran.
