Seed of the Sacred Fig

November 10 @ 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm

Closing Night Feature 

CIFF is honored to present a special screening of The Seed of the Sacred Fig, a searing drama by acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof. Known for his fearless criticism of authoritarian regimes, Rasoulof has long been a target of Iran’s hardline conservative government. Facing persecution for his work, Rasoulof was forced to flee Iran to avoid an eight-year prison sentence—yet even in exile, his commitment to storytelling remained unshaken.

Shot entirely in secret, Mohammad Rasoulof’s award-winning thriller, THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG, centers on a family thrust into the public eye when Iman is appointed as an investigating judge in Tehran.  As political unrest erupts in the streets, Iman realizes that his job is even more dangerous than expected, making him increasingly paranoid and distrustful, even of his own wife Najmeh and daughters Sana and Rezvan.

DIRECTED BY  Mohammad Rasoulof
